Biden on al-Qurayshi's death: 'This horrible terrorist leader is no more.' Read more of his remarks here. 👇
President Biden said Thursday that top ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi died during a U.S. raid in northwestern Syria."Last night's operation took a major terrorist leader off the battlefield. And sent a strong message to terrorists around the world: 'We will come after you and find you,'" Biden, who ordered the operation, said from the White House Thursday.
A senior administration official said earlier Thursday that al-Qurayshi "exploded a bomb that killed him and members of his own family, including women and children" at the beginning of the U.S. operation. "This operation is a testament to America's reach and capability to take out terrorist threats no matter where they try to hide anywhere in the world. I'm determined to protect the American people from terrorist threats, and I'll take decisive action to protect this country."Monitoring and other groups, as well as residents of the raided village, Atmeh, in the rebel-held Idlib province near the border with Turkey, reported multiple deaths, including civilians.
