US President Joe Biden, during an address to citizens, said that the leader of the terrorist group "Islamic State" (IS, banned in the Russian Federation), Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qureishi, who was eliminated by the US Armed Forces, was responsible for the recent attack on a prison in Syria, Where were the IS fighters?

As the president noted, the terrorist was involved in and led "a series of atrocities, including against the Yezidis."

“Thanks to the bravery of our troops, this terrible terrorist leader is no more,” Biden said.

He said that the terrorist died when he set off an improvised explosive device, fearing justice.

According to Biden, in order to avoid a lot of human casualties, it was decided to attack the house where the terrorist was located, by security forces, and not with the help of an airstrike. He also stressed that this successful operation was a testament to the ability of the United States to eliminate terrorist threats "regardless of where they try to hide anywhere in the world."

According to The New York Times, during the operation, the US military had problems with the helicopter. He was planted near the site of the operation, and then, unable to fix the damage, the military destroyed him.

At least 13 innocent people were killed in the operation, including six children and four women, according to US media. Prior to this, it was reported that several people were able to leave the building before the start of the operation.
