ISIS chief Abu al-Qurayshi killed in Syria, says Biden

President Joe Biden said Thursday that the leader of the Islamic State group had been "taken off the battlefield" during a raid by US forces in Syria. "Thanks to the skill and bravery of our Armed Forces, we have taken off the battlefield Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi -- the leader of ISIS. All Americans have returned safely from the operation," Biden added, using another acronym for IS. After the killing of Islamic State founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in October 2019, the group named as his successor al-Quraishi, an Iraqi who was once held in US custody.

A senior US official said Qurashi had blown himself up during a nighttime airborne raid by US special forces in northwestern Syria. The bomb Qurashi detonated also killed members of his own family, including women and children, the official said.The operation, in which Kurdish forces also took part, was conducted in the Idlib region where Qurashi's better-known predecessor Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in a similar raid in 2019.
