Suspected ISIS chief killed in Syria
A big claim has been done by Turkish President in order to end terrorism. President Tayyip Erdogan said that the suspected leader of ISIS has been killed in Syria in a daring operation carried out by Turkiye’s MIT intelligence agency.
President Erdogan claims to kill suspected ISIS leader
Announcing on television, using the Arabic acronym for the ISIS, the president said, “The suspected leader of Daesh, codename Abu Hussein al-Qurashi, has been neutralised in an operation carried out yesterday (Saturday) by the MIT in Syria.”
On November 30 last year, the ISIS announced the death of its previous boss, Abu Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi and replaces him with Abu Hussein al-Qurashi.
According to media reports, Turkish intelligence agents and local military police, backed by Turkiye, had on Saturday sealed off a zone in Jindires, in the northwest region of Afrin.
Also, the nearby residents told the media that that an operation had targeted an abandoned farm that was being used as an Islamic school.
Turkiye has deployed troops in northern Syria since 2020, and controls entire zones with the help of Syrian auxiliaries.
US mission on killing of ISIS leaders
Recently, in mid-April, the United States carried out a helicopter raid in northern Syria in an operation. They claimed that ISIS had been planning attacks in Europe and the Middle East.
US Central Command said they had killed Abd-al Hadi Mahmud al-Haji Ali of the ISIS in the operation.
On April 16 in Syria, suspected ISIS terrorists killed at least 41 people, 24 of them civilians.
Moreover, the US force said they had killed an ISIS leader responsible for planning attacks in Europe, naming him as Khalid Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri in the first week of April.
When it was at the height of its power, controlling swathes of Iraq and Syria, the ISIS claimed responsibility for a series of attacks in Europe.
In October 2019, Washington announced it had killed ISIS’s Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in an operation in northwestern Syria.
Despite having been driven out of much of the territory it once controlled, the ISIS still launches attacks in Syria.
