Trump Confirms Death of Top ISIS Leader in Joint US-Nigeria Operation
By Aboki Forex —
President Donald Trump has announced that United States and Nigerian forces killed a senior ISIS leader hiding in Africa. The operation took place recently, though the exact location and date have not been disclosed.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump identified the slain militant as Abu-Bilal al-Minuki. He described him as the second in command of ISIS globally and the “most active terrorist in the world.”
Trump said al-Minuki’s death has “greatly diminished” the group’s ability to carry out global operations. The President praised the cooperation between US and Nigerian security forces, calling it a major victory in the fight against terrorism.
Nigerian authorities have not yet issued an official statement on the operation. Analysts say the killing is a significant blow to ISIS networks in West Africa and the Sahel region.
