TOPSHOT-SYRIA-US-CONFLICT-IS

TOPSHOT - Red tape is extended and objects are set on fire, around the house in which the leader of Islamic State (IS) group Amir Mohammed Said Abd al-Rahman al-Mawla , aka Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi died, during an overnight raid by US special forces, in the town of Atme in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib, on February 3, 2022. US President Joe Biden said today, a global "terrorist threat" was removed when the head of the Islamic State blew himself up after US special forces swooped on his Syrian hideout in an "incredibly challenging" nighttime helicopter raid.
