This is stated in the material of The Times of India and in Trump's post on his social network Truth Social.
"Today the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq was killed. He was relentlessly hunted down by our intrepid warfighters," the US President wrote.
Then, sharing the merits with the Iraqi and Kurdish forces, he added the following:
“His miserable life was terminated, along with another member of ISIS, in coordination with the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish Regional Government. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!” Trump summed up.
Earlier, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed the operation. He announced the death of terrorist leader Abdullah Maki Musleh al-Rifai, known as Abu Khadija.
According to The Times of India, Abu Khadija was among the deadliest terrorists operating in Iraq and around the world. He is known to have held a prominent position in the ISIS command structure and was previously considered a potential contender for the post of global leader of ISIS, the "caliph", due to his high status in the organization. His elimination caused significant damage to ISIS's activities in the area.
