BREAKING: US And Nigerian Forces Eliminate World’s Second Most Dreaded Terrorist – Trump
US and Nigerian forces yesterday, Friday, May 15, 2026, killed a senior ISIS commander believed to be the second most dreaded terrorist in the world.
US President Donald Trump broke the news in a Truth Social post late Friday ET.
“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield,” Trump said.
A CNN report says that the US President named the target as “Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally,” adding, “He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans.”
As per CNN: “It is not the first fatal strike Trump has ordered on alleged Islamic State militants in Nigeria, who he has accused of persecuting Christians in the West African country.
“In December, Trump said he had directed a “powerful and deadly strike against ISIS” in northwestern Nigeria, who he said had been killing innocent Christians.”
