Meet Iraq's Rambo fighting against ISIS

Ayyub Faleh al-Rubaie, best known as Abu Azrael ("Angel of Death"), is a legendary Shia militiaman whose bravery and reputation have also earned him the title of "Iraq's Rambo." He has become the people's champion in resisting the Islamic State in Iraq.

His methods and appearance match the brutality of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. For instance, he has been shown holding axes, waving swords, and even abusing the corpses of ISIS fighters.

He also has a flair for social media, publishing viral posts and inspiring tribute fan pages and groups. Abu Azrael has even coined his own catchphrase when addressing ISIS — "illa tahin," which means "grind you into dust," — according to the France 24 video.
