Trump Says US and Nigeria Killed ISIS Second in Command in Targeted Nigeria Operation

US President Donald Trump says a targeted operation in Nigeria—carried out by US forces working with Nigerian security personnel—killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, described as ISIS’s second-in-command globally. Born in Nigeria’s Borno State and sanctioned by the US in 2023, al-Minuki was reportedly a key regional leader for ISIS’s Lake Chad area, handling operational and financial direction. Trump said ISIS believed it could evade detection, but US intelligence tracking led to his elimination.
