The leader of Isis was killed during a nighttime raid by US special forces in northwest Syria in the early hours of Thursday morning, US president Joe Biden announced.
Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, who had led the terrorist group since the death of his predecessor in similar circumstances a little over two years ago, detonated a bomb that killed himself and his family as US forces surrounded a residential building where he was hiding in the town of Atmeh, just across the border from Turkey, Mr Biden said.
