US Special Forces killed one of the ISIS’ top leaders

The U.S. government has not confirmed the terrorists' deaths yet

Newsroom January 11 12:57

 

An elite team of US commandos killed a senior leader of ISIS this week.

 

According to the ABC News, the alleged finance chief of ISIS, Abu Anas al-Iraqi was killed Sunday in an operation in Syria by the U.S. Expeditionary Targeting Force.

 

“He was a top ISIS emir,” a counterterrorism official said, using the Arabic term for “prince” or “leader” ISIS supporters use.

 

There is a possibility that the U.S. also killed the top ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, self-proclaimed caliph of all Muslims, who is believed to be pined down in Mosul.

 

According to sources there were no casualties among the US team.
