Trump says US and Nigeria eliminated ISIS global number two Abu Bilal al Minuki in complex mission

US President Donald Trump announced that Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, ISIS’s global second-in-command, was eliminated in an operation involving American and Nigerian forces. Trump said the mission was meticulously planned and complex, and claimed US sources tracked what al-Minuki was doing while he tried to hide in Africa. He added that the killing greatly diminishes ISIS’s global operations and thanked Nigeria for its partnership.
