Meet Former University Lecturer Known As ISIS’ Worst Nightmare (PHOTOS)

 

With his thick beard and fearsome axe, Abu Azrael is one of the most recognisable soldiers fighting among the Iraqi forces against ISIS.

Nicknamed the ‘father of archangel of death’ in Arabic, Abu Azrael has become the poster boy of the Imam Ali brigade, a Iraqi Shi’a militia group sponsored by Iran.
He is believed to be a 40-year-old former university lecturer, who left his home to fight Islamic State back in June 2014. Such is his fame, his fan page on social media has attracted over a quarter of a million supporters.

Other photos shows the colossal warrior carrying a large sword, fearlessly wandering through the battlefield. As well as posing with his weapons, Abu Azrael also appears to love a selfie and posting short videos of him and his friends relaxing after battle.
