Washington – President Joe Biden said on Thursday that a raid that neutralised the Islamic State’s leader had put “terrorist” groups on notice that the United States will “find you”.
“Last night’s operation took a major terrorist leader off the battlefield and sent a strong message to terrorists around the world: We will come after you and find you,” Biden said in remarks from the White House hours after the raid in which IS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi blew himself up.
“I’ve been trying to protect the American people from terrorist threats, and I’ll take decisive action to protect this country,” he said, adding that US forces will remain “vigilant” and prepared.
