Trump assures that the number two of the Islamic State has been eliminated

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated this Friday that the number two of the Islamic State and the "most active terrorist on the planet" Abu-Bilal al-Minuki has been eliminated in Nigeria. According to Trump, his death occurred during a "very complex and meticulously planned mission" between the Armed Forces of the United States and those of Nigeria. Trump made the announcement on his social network, Truth Social: "Under my direction, brave American forces and the Nigerian Armed Forces have impeccably executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate from the battlefield the world's most active terrorist, Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS (Islamic State)." "He will no longer terrorize the African people nor help plan operations against Americans," the leader added in his publication.

Similarly, he assured that, with the death of al-Minuki, the "global operation" of the Islamic State "is considerably weakened." He also thanked the government of Nigeria for its collaboration in the counter-terrorism mission. On February 16, the Nigerian Armed Forces announced the arrival of about a hundred U.S. military personnel at the Bauchi airfield, in the northwest of the country, as part of a bilateral defense cooperation program aimed at strengthening the fight against terrorist threats.
