Al-Minuki: U.S. forces eliminated top three terrorist leaders killing Christians in Nigeria, Trump says
President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, on Friday said U.S. forces eliminated top three terrorist kingpins killing Christians in Nigeria.
In his speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference held in Washington Hilton on Friday, Mr Trump noted the U.S. intervention to end killing of Christians in Nigeria.
Mr Trump said, “As you know, we recently struck Nigeria and largely ended the slaughter of great Christian populations. We knocked out their leader, we knocked out their second leader, and their third leader.”
The American president cited U.S. forces operation in Nigeria as an example of America supporting religious liberty in the world, adding “I’m saving Christians throughout the world.”
Mr Trump stated that the U.S. forces onslaught against terrorists killing Christians in Nigeria “sounds a little bit Iran,” where top leaders of the Islamic Republic were eliminated in U.S./Israel cordinated Operation Epic Fury in February.
The American presidet insisted that “we cannot let Iran have nuclear weapons.”
In May, U.S. forces in collaboration with the Nigerian army conducted airstrikes that killed ISIS second-in-command Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki and other members of the terrorist group in North-East, Nigeria.
Mr Al-Minuki, 44, is a Nigerian, born in Mainok, Benisheikh, Borno State, which is Nigeria’s years-long insurgency battleground. The U.S. authorities designated al-Minuki a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) on June 8, 2023.
Last Monday, the U.S. government released a list of three individuals and six entities across Europe, the Middle East, and West Africa, facilitating and cordinating financial transactions for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
