Daesh chief blows himself up as US forces hit his Syrian hideout
Arab News says President Joe Biden said on Thursday a global “terrorist threat” was removed when the head of the Daesh group blew himself up after US special forces swooped in on his Syrian hideout in an “incredibly challenging” nighttime helicopter raid.
“The United States military forces successfully removed a major terrorist threat to the world, the global leader of Daesh,” Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashimi Al-Qurashi, Biden said in nationally televised remarks.
The operation dealt the biggest setback to the terrorist organization since Qurashi’s predecessor, the better-known Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, was killed in a US commando raid in the same Syrian region of Idlib in 2019.
