A senior Islamic State leader was killed by American forces during an assault operation in northern Somalia.
The operation’s head was identified as Bilal al-Sudani by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Al-Sudani is a major member of ISIS’s international network and a facilitator. The attack, which was sanctioned by President Joe Biden and took place on Wednesday in a mountainous cave complex in northern Somalia, also resulted in the deaths of about 10 of al-ISIS Sudani’s fighters, according to senior administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Military sources indicated they had planned for the prospect of taking down al-Sudani, but a hostile force’s response led to his demise. According to the officials, no American servicemen nor civilians suffered any injuries.
