"The brutality of the group pushed many Iraqis to cooperate with the security forces and provide intelligence reports about the IS militants, which were used by the troops to carry out severe blows to the organization that killed many of its leaders during the past years," al-Sheikh added.

"I think al-Baghdadi deserves to be killed for his crimes of killing thousands of innocent people and the destruction of many cities in both Iraq and Syria," he said.

Najib Khalaf al-Jubouri, a political analyst and teacher of politics in al-Nahrain University, told Xinhua that the rise of extremist and terrorist groups in Iraq was widely attributed to strategic mistakes made by Washington such as the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the pullout at the end of 2011.

Al-Baghdadi was very instrumental in the rise of IS group, which has expanded its influence to Libya, Egypt, Nigeria and Afghanistan, al-Jubouri said.

"The group has the ability to move and launch terrorist attacks across the world, and therefore remains a major threat to global security for a long time," al-Jubouri added.
