BREAKING: US kills key ISIS facilitator Bilal al-Sudani, 10 operatives in counterterrorism mission in Somalia
Fox News Washington correspondent Gillian Turner joins 'Special Report' to share details from a Reagan National Defense Forum survey as U.S. military confirms ISIS leader killed.Bilal al-Sudani, and about 10 ISIS operatives in a counterterrorism mission that resulted in no U.S. casualties, senior administration officials said Thursday.
"The U.S. military conducted a successful counterterrorism operation in Somalia," U.S. Africa Command said."Given the remote location of the operation, the assessment is that no civilians were injured or killed." The operation was the result of what officials called"extraordinary coordination and careful planning across all elements of the U.S. government for many months."Planning of the operation reached a"critical stage" last week. The Pentagon briefed the president on the plan, along with Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Deputy CIA Director David Cohen, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and other senior members of the White House national security team.
There was a careful evaluation of whether alternative options existed to address the threats from al-Sudani with even lower risk to U.S. forces.
