He then blew himself up with explosives which were strapped to his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al-Qurashi became the fourth leader of ISIS in November, when the group announced the death of his predecessor. No photos were ever released. The founder of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed by U.S. forces in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, the U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/index.php\/2023\/04\/u-s-helicopter-raid-in-syria-targets-isis-leader-plotting-terror-attacks\/\">carried out a helicopter raid in northern Syria<\/a>, killing at least three ISIS fighters, including a senior leader, in response to intelligence about a plot to kidnap government officials abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ISIS, also known as Daesh, occupied roughly one-third of Syria and Iraq at its peak in 2014, setting off a major humanitarian crisis. The group carried out or inspired numerous terrorist attacks around the world, but its so-called caliphate has all but disappeared. It now controls only small pockets of land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abu al-Hussein al-Qurashi, the top leader and so-called caliph of the Islamic State group (ISIS), has been killed in a Turkish operation in northern Syria, according to the Turkish government.
