US military releases video of airstrike against ISIS leader in Iraq | ABS-CBN News

The U.S. Central Command on Friday (March 14) said it had conducted an airstrike in cooperation with Iraq that killed the top ISIS leader in that country, Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, known as “Abu Khadijah”, and one other ISIS operative. Reuters was not able to independently verify the location or the date when the video was filmed. After the strike, which the U.S. military said happened on Thursday (March 13), a DNA test on the deceased's remains confirmed Abu Khadijah had been killed, the Central Command said. President Donald Trump later posted on Truth Social: "Today the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq was killed." The US military's statement said Abu Khadijah was also the "Global ISIS #2 leader" who "maintained responsibility for operations, logistics and planning conducted by ISIS globally." - report from Reuters For more ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmgUHWUpi2ioSp4xAP1SmAaf For more Breaking News & Live Coverage videos, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmgG2ln-vtKXb-oLlGEZc3sR For more latest news and analysis from ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmg4pcvfM9a96rbUcLD_0P_U For more News Digital News Raw Cuts, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmivfD9aJD-8k0SNcMqG2xdA Subscribe to the ABS-CBN News channel! - http://bit.ly/TheABSCBNNews Watch full episodes on iWantTFC for FREE here: http://iwanttfc.com Visit our website at http://news.abs-cbn.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abscbnNEWS Twitter: https://twitter.com/abscbnnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abscbnnews #NewsDigital #LatestNews #ABSCBNNews
