Donald Trump has annonced the death of ‘second in command of ISIS‘ Abu-Bilal al-Minuki.
The US President said American and Nigerian forces have killed “the most active terrorist in the world” after he was found hiding in Africa.
“He could hide in Africa, but little did he know we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing,” Trump bragged in a post on Truth Social.
Al‑Minuki was declared a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by Washington in 2023. His death comes following the killing of Islamic State (IS) leader Abu Bakr al‑Baghdadi in 2019.
Trump’s post went on: “He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans. With his removal, ISIS’s global operation is greatly diminished.”
