U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally, was killed in an operation conducted by U.S. and Nigerian forces.
'Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally, thought he could hide in Africa, but little did he know we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing,' Trump said on Truth Social.
Trump did not disclose in his post the exact location of the operation.
Al-Minuki, a Nigerian national, was designated as a 'specially designated global terrorist' by the former Biden administration in 2023, according to the U.S. Federal Register.
