US Somalia Raid, Bilal al-Sudani, ISIS Leader Killed
U.S. special operations forces conducted a raid in northern Somalia, killing senior ISIS leader Bilal al-Sudani and ten other militants. The Pentagon reported that the team had practiced for weeks using mock-ups of the target cave complex, similar to the 2011 Bin Laden raid. President Biden gave final approval for the operation, which officials claimed left the U.S. "safer and more secure."
