American and Nigerian forces killed the Islamic State’s director of global operations in a Friday evening operation, U.S. African Command said.
The joint operation killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, according to President Donald Trump, who announced the mission and al-Minuki’s death in a social media post Friday night. Trump described al-Minuki as ISIS’s “second in command” globally. The strike was the largest U.S. operation in Nigeria since Christmas, when U.S. forces fired multiple missiles at militants in Nigeria’s northwestern Sokoto state.
