US Eliminates Key ISIS Commander, Says Trump

US President Donald Trump announced that Abu Bilal Al Minuqi, a senior ISIS commander, has been killed in a joint military operation conducted by the United States and Nigeria. According to Trump, the operation specifically targeted the terrorist leader and was successfully carried out as part of ongoing counter-terrorism efforts.

Minuqi was accused of expanding ISIS activities across Africa and allegedly planning attacks against the United States. The US government had officially designated him as a global terrorist in 2023. Reports suggest that his network operated across nearly 12 African countries. Trump stated that the operation has delivered a major blow to international terrorism.
