President Donald Trump announced Friday night that the United States had killed the fugitive leader of ISIS after he was “relentlessly” pursued.
“Today the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq was killed. He was relentlessly hunted down by our intrepid warfighters,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “His miserable life was terminated, along with another member of ISIS, in coordination with the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish Regional Government. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!”
Shortly after Trump’s post, U.S. Central Command shared video of the airstrike that took out Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, also known as Abu Khadijah, and a second ISIS operative. Abu Khadijah was the chief of global operations and the delegated committee emir for ISIS and officially the second-in-command for the Islamic terrorist organization.
