Who is the man Iraqi’s are calling the Angel of Death? With several Facebook pages dedicated to photos of him, videos of the man in action, and memes hailing the new hero, Trending investigates the social media campaign behind Abu Azrael.
Has this bearded, bulked up character really just emerged from the rubble of Tikrit just as Iraqi’s need a saviour? Or is he part of an organised campaign that is joining the online propaganda war alongside ISIS?
We speak to the journalist in Baghdad who has met him and a US based researcher in Shia militias and jihadism who explains Abu Azrael’s backstory.
