Trump says senior IS leader killed by US and Nigerian forces
US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that joint U.S. and Nigerian military forces have killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, whom he identified as the second-in-command of ISIS globally. Al-Minuki, a 2023 Specially Designated Global Terrorist, directed IS-linked cells across Africa including the Islamic State West Africa Province; while Trump called the operation a major blow to IS networks, neither the Nigerian military nor U.S. authorities had officially confirmed the killing as of the report's publication.
