From the WSJ this morning:
WASHINGTON—The Islamic State’s leader died during a U.S. military raid in northwestern Syria, President Biden said.
Mr. Biden said he ordered the raid that killed Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi. U.S. officials say they believe the militant leader detonated a suicide vest as American troops approached.
“Thanks to the skill and bravery of our Armed Forces, we have taken off the battlefield Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi—the leader of ISIS. All Americans have returned safely from the operation,” Mr. Biden said in a statement.
He said he would deliver remarks on the operation later Thursday morning.
