A US special forces raid in northwestern Syria early Thursday killed the top leader of the so-called Islamic State group, Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashimi Al-Qurayshi, President Joe Biden said. “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,” Biden said in a statement. He said all Americans involved in the operation returned safely. Biden said he would address the American people later on Thursday concerning the raid.
