Announcing the death of the ISIS leader at a press engagement earlier, President Trump said capturing the ISIS leader had been his top priority since he assumed office some three years ago.

The ISIS leader ‘blew himself up’ when cornered by US military personnel who conducted the two-hour nighttime raid.”
