Subject: Inquiry About Abu Mohammed al-Jolani
Hi Omer,
I was one of the early followers of @Mosul. I found your posts about life in your city, especially during the time of the Islamic State, to be incredibly informative.
With that in mind, I would like to kindly ask what you know about Abu Mohammed al-Jolani during his time in Mosul under the leadership of the leader of the Islamic State (ISIL/Da’esh) Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was in charge.
Your perspective and experiences regarding Abu Mohammed al-Jolani would be very valuable to me.
Thank you once again.
Best,
J.H.
