President Donald Trump has announced that the fugitive leader of ISIS, Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, in Iraq, has been killed, marking a significant blow to the terror group.

In a statement, Trump revealed that the operation was a result of coordinated efforts, eliminating a key figure in ISIS leadership. The news highlights ongoing efforts to dismantle the remnants of ISIS and disrupt its operations, signaling progress in the fight against global terrorism.

“Today, the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq was killed. He was relentlessly hunted down by our intrepid warfighters. His miserable life was terminated, along with another member of ISIS, in coordination with the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish Regional Government. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!” Trump wrote on Friday.

Trump credited the attack alongside Iraq and Kurdish forces, which Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani confirmed. The fugitive was considered to be one of the most dangerous terrorists operating in Iraq and held a high-ranking status within the terrorist organization.

Yeah, this is great news. Now go feed him to some pigs, and take what comes out the back, put it in some plastic bags and give it to his family for proper burial.

CENTCOM Forces Kill ISIS Chief of Global Operations Who Also Served as ISIS #2 with VIDEO

https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/1900737395915440260

On March 13, U.S. Central Command forces, in cooperation with Iraqi Intelligence and Security Forces, conducted a precision airstrike in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, that killed the Global ISIS #2 leader, Chief of Global Operations and the Delegated Committee Emir – Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, alias “Abu Khadijah”, and one other ISIS operative.

As the Emir of ISIS’ most senior decision-making body, Abu Khadijah maintained responsibility for operations, logistics, and planning conducted by ISIS globally, and directs a significant portion of finance for the group’s global organization.

After the strike, CENTCOM and Iraqi forces moved to the strike site and found both dead ISIS terrorists. Both terrorists were wearing unexploded “suicide vests” and had multiple weapons. CENTCOM and Iraqi forces were able to identify Abu Khadijah through a DNA match from DNA collected on a previous raid where Abu Khadijah narrowly escaped.

“Abu Khadijah was one of the most important ISIS members in the entire global ISIS organization. We will continue to kill terrorists and dismantle their organizations that threaten our homeland and U.S., allied and partner personnel in the region and beyond,” said Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, commander, U.S. Central Command.

[Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai,]

Well of course. He was using up all the letters in the alphabet.

There were none left over for the rest of the world.

Probably a pretty good Scrabble score on the diagonal...
