Biden Reveals Cowardly ISIS Leader is DEAD in US Commandos Raid
5 Feb 2022 Daily Mail
ISIS leader dead: President Joe Biden confirmed the leader of ISIS is dead in what he described as a cowardly move to blow up himself and his family instead of facing justice for his terrorists acts.
Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi set off a bomb that killed himself as well as members of this family during a raid by U.S. commandos on a house in northwest Syria on Thursday. 'United States military forces successfully moved in major terrorist threat to the world,' Biden said in remarks at the White House on Thursday.
Thirteen were reported killed, including six children and four women during the mission, which involved 24 Special Operations commandos backed by attack jets, Reaper drones and helicopter gunships. 'As a final act of desperate cowardness, [al-Qurayshi] with no regard to the lives of his own family or others in the building, he chose to blow himself up,' Biden said, adding the ISIS leader blew up 'that third floor rather than face justice for the crimes he has committed, taking several members of his family with him.'
'This horrible terrorist leader is no more,' he added. Biden, along with Vice President Kamala Harris and national security aides monitored a live-feed of the operation from the White House Situation Room, according to a photo released by the administration.
