“This is the first time we publish these names which, until now, were secret,” he added.

Reports say the list includes senior members of ISIL, among them Fawaz Mohammad Mutlaq, a former officer in Saddam’s Fedayeen paramilitary organisation but the name of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIL, is absent from the list.
