The leader of ISIS died when he blew himself and family members up during a US military raid in Syria, President Joe Biden said on Thursday, dealing a blow to the extremist group's efforts to reorganize as a guerrilla force after losing large swathes of territory.
Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Quraishi, had led ISIS since the death in 2019 of its founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was also killed when he detonated explosives during a raid by US commandos.
