Rachid Kassim was one of the group's most notorious members, believed to be responsible for masterminding a number of terror attacks throughout western Europe.

Authorities believe Frenchman Kassim, 29, was one of the terrorists responsible for planning ISIS' disgusting attack on a Paris concert hall and throughout the city where 130 people were gunned down.

Depraved Kassim is also believed to have recruited some of the terror group's most notorious foreign jihadis through social media.

Kassim brainwashed the ISIS members responsible for slaughtering a vicar in Normandy last year, and three women who failed to carry out a terror attack on Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, in September.

After 84 people were killed when a jihadi ploughed through a Bastille Day celebration in Nice, Kassim appeared in an ISIS propaganda video directly threatening French President Francois Hollande.

But his rain of terror has come to an end after being blasted to death from a coalition airstrike in Mosul, Iraq.

France intelligence agency DGSE has confirmed Kassim's death, after receiving intelligence from the US.

A Pentagon spokesman said: "We are currently assessing the results of the strike and will provide more information when it becomes available."

Coalition airstrikes are now targeting the western half of Mosul after the eastern side of the city was liberated last month.

Sustained attacks on ISIS strongholds have seen a number of their top commanders meet their end, with foreign jihadis fleeing like rats from a sinking ship.

Iraqi and coalition have now launched missions into ISIS territory to locate their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Any soldier that finds the whereabouts of the terrorist have been issued with shoot-to-kill orders.
