Shakir Wahiyib is known as the fearless executioner for the ISIS. Known to ISIS fighters as the “Desert Lion,” Wahiyib appears in jihadist videos executing victims without hiding his face. ISIS fighters tend to keep their faces masked to minimise identification that could be used to track them down. The leader of the ISIS, Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi, is reported to use disguises when engaging with ISIS members. Wahiyib, however, appears in numerous photos and videos without any disguise. This could be an ISIS propaganda strategy to portray the organisation with a “real face of terror”. Iraq has put a $50,000 bounty on his head.Photos: Dates Unknown: Photos of Shakir WahiyibFor More on Inside Two Major Leaders: Omar Shishani and Abu Wahib Shakir al-FahdawiTRAC profiles The Rising Star of the Islamic State (ISIS) : Sunni Terrorist Abu Wahib Shakir al-Fahdawi leader of Ussud Al-Anbar BrigadePreviously unseen image of Abu Wahib shared on Telegram 30 January 2016

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
