Timeline

1977

Al-Adnani was born in 1977 in the town of Binnish in the countryside of Idlib Governorate, western Syria.

In a biography published by IS cleric Turki al-Binali after Adnani's death, it's written that he "grew up with the love of mosques ... [and] memorized the Quran as a young man."

2000

According to a biography penned by Turki al-Binali, Adnani became involved in Islamic militancy in the year 2000.

His primary teacher was Abu Anas al-Shami, a senior leader in Jama'at al-Tawhid wal Jihad.

He swore allegiance to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi along with thirty-five others while in Syria, with a plan to fight the government of Bashar al-Assad.

However, the Americans invaded Iraq, and Adnani became one of the first foreign fighters to oppose Coalition forces in Iraq.

He was summoned for questioning repeatedly by the Syrian General Intelligence Directorate and was arrested three times.

One of the times he was arrested was when he was passing through al-Bukamal on his way to Iraq for the first time.

He spent months in jail and was finally freed after he refused to divulge information, despite being tortured.

2004

Al-Adnani, alongside Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, was one of the last to evacuate the city of Fallujah after the Second Battle of Fallujah in 2004.

2005

In May 2005 Al-Adnani was arrested by Coalition forces in Al Anbar Governorate in Iraq under a fake name "Yasser Khalaf Hussein Nazal al-Rawi", and was released in 2010.

2012

In December 2012, an Iraqi intelligence official said he was using a number of aliases including "Abu Mohamed al-Adnani, Taha al-Banshi, Jaber Taha Falah, Abu Baker al-Khatab and Abu Sadek al-Rawi."

Al-Adnani was highly respected by his fellow fighters throughout his time in the Iraq insurgency, with ISI leader Abu Omar al-Baghdadi saying about him, "It will be for this man the whole affair (of jihad)".

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi trusted him so much that he allowed him to make executive decisions independently, saying "Do not consult me on matters, just brief me."

He was also the teacher of Manaf Abd al-Rahim al-Rawi, the Al-Qaeda in Iraq "governor" for Baghdad province.

According to Harry Sarfo, a former German member of the group.

"The big man behind everything is Abu Muhammad al-Adnani. ... He is the head of the Emni, and he is the head of the special forces as well. ... Everything goes back to him."

2014

On 18 August 2014, the US State Department listed al-Adnani as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.

On 15 August 2014, he was sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council.

On 22 September 2014, al-Adnani gave a lengthy speech entitled "Indeed, Your Lord Is Ever Watchful", which was significant because it was the first official instruction by the Islamic State for its supporters to kill non-Muslims in Western countries.

This speech has been credited with inspiring a wave of Islamic terrorism in Europe.

Among other things, Al-Adnani said:

"If you can kill a disbelieving American or European - especially the spiteful and filthy French - or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be."

and later on:

"If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him."

2015

On 5 May 2015, the U.S. State Department Rewards for Justice Program announced a reward up to US$5million for information leading to his capture.

According to a former ISIS militant and a former Yazidi slave, al-Adnani personally participated in the burning death of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh in 2015, and directed ISIS media crews to produce videos of killings.

2016

Taha Sobhi Falaha (طٰهٰ صُبْحِيِّ فَلَاحَةٍ; 1977 – 30 August 2016), known by his nom de guerre Abu Muhammad al-Adnani al-Shami (أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ ٱلْعَدْنَانِيُّ ٱلشَّامِيُّ), was the official spokesperson and a senior leader of the Islamic State.

He was described as the chief of its external operations.

He was the second most senior leader of the Islamic State after its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Media reports in August 2016 suggested he was in charge of a special unit, known as the Emni, that was established by IS in 2014 with the double objective of internal policing and executing operations outside IS territory.

On 30 August 2016, the Islamic State announced al-Adnani had been killed in Aleppo Province.

A number of fighting forces claimed responsibility for al-Adnani's death.

On 12 September 2016, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that a U.S. coalition airstrike had killed al-Adnani, even though the Russian Federation had already claimed that Adnani had been killed in a Russian airstrike involving an Su-34 bomber.

On 4 January 2016, Abu Mohammad al-Adnani was reportedly injured by an Iraqi airstrike on Barwana, near Haditha, Iraq and was moved to Mosul for recovery.

As spokesman of the Islamic State, Adnani made a considerable number of speeches.

His rhetorical style received attention.

Abu al-Waleed al-Salafi, a researcher, comments, "I have analysed the speeches of Baghdadi and Adnani psychologically more than once, and I found a result: that Adnani's speech seeks to inspire zeal in the soul, while Baghdadi's speech seeks to inspire calm."

Adnani's vitriolic speaking style established his reputation as the 'attack dog' of the Islamic State, especially for his denunciations of al-Qaeda.

On 30 August 2016, the Islamic State announced that Adnani was killed in Aleppo Province.
