Islamic State Leader Is Killed, By US Special Forces In Syria

 

Biden says ISIS leader died by suicide bomb in 'desperate act of cowardice,' vows to hunt terrorists down

The president gave the final go-ahead for the operation that resulted in the death of Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi on Tuesday, an administration official said.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Thursday said an overnight raid by U.S. special forces in northwest Syria had resulted in the death of the leader of the Islamic State terrorism group, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, in one of the most significant counterterrorism operations of his presidency to date.

"As our troops approached to capture the terrorist, in a final act of desperate cowardice, with no regard to the lives of his own family or others the building, he chose to blow himself up," Biden said at the White House.

"Last night's operation took a major terrorist threat off the battlefield and has sent a strong message to terrorists around the world: We will come after you and find you," he said. "Once again today, we continue our unceasing effort to keep the American people safe and strengthen the security of our allies and partners around the world."

Ye's collaboration with Gap features plain black hoodies and T-shirts, the Los Angeles Times noted that Yeezy Gap items range from a $40 keychain to a $340 parka. Before its launch last year, it had been marketed as an affordable clothing line. Shoppers have shared pictures on social media of clothes from the Yeezy Gap line being sold out of big black bags rather than displayed on hangers. After critics complained that he was mocking homeless people, Kanye West has defended his decision to display his new Yeezy Gap line in giant bags at GAP stores, considered by some to be 'garbage bags,' or some mistook it to be garbage sacks.
