Biography[]

Neaman Salman Mansour al-Zaidi was born in Iraq to a Sunni Muslim family, and he used the nom de guerre of "Abu Suleiman Lideen Allah al-Naser" while leading the Islamic State of Iraq in Anbar Governorate; he was detained in Camp Bucca by the United States during the Iraq War. In April 2010, he replaced Abu Ayyub al-Masri as the war minister of ISI, and he held the post until he was killed in the city of Hit in Anbar in February 2011 by the Iraqi Army. His death was denied by ISI, and security analysts believed that he was alive for several more years. In November 2014, it was reported that he had succeeded Abu Ayman al-Iraqi as War Minister when he was killed in a United States airstrike. However, on 10 May 2016 Abu Muhammad al-Adnani confirmed his death, putting an end to the rumors that he was the War Minister of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (which was not formed until two years after his death).
