U.S. special operations forces have killed a senior Islamic State group official and 10 other terrorist operatives in remote northern Somalia, senior Biden administration officials announced Thursday.
The operation targeted Bilal al-Sudani, a key financial facilitator for the global terrorist organization, in a mountainous cave complex.
Sudani, who has been on the radar for U.S. intelligence officials for years, played a key role in helping to fund IS operations in Africa as well as the ISIS-K terrorist branch operating in Afghanistan, the officials said. "Given the remote location of the operation, the assessment is that no civilians were injured or killed. Protecting civilians remains a vital part of the command's operations to promote greater security for all Africans," U.S. Africa Command said in a statement.
