WH Says ISIS Leader Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashimi Al-Qurayshi Died During U.S. Raid in Syria

The leader of terrorist group ISIS, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, died during a U.S. raid in Syria, the White House said Thursday.

President Joe Biden was slated to address the nation on the details of the raid at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Al-Qurayshi rose through the ranks of ISIS before he was named its leader in October 2019, a few days after his predecessor, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed during a U.S. raid.
