General Kenneth Mackenzie
On Thursday, US General Kenneth McKenzie confirmed that US forces had given ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Qurashi an opportunity to surrender, before he eventually chose to blow himself up.
McKenzie, who heads the Central Command of the US Army “Centcom”, said that the leader of the organization “killed himself with his family without a fight, at a time when we were trying to invite him to surrender and give him a chance to survive.”
He added, “Due to the explosion on the second floor, the American forces found the emir of the Islamic State dead on the ground outside the building,” explaining that “the digital analysis of fingerprints and DNA examination confirmed” the identity of Al-Qurashi.
The Pentagon had made it clear that the operation that took place in northwestern Syria resulted in the “killing of at least three civilians,” including al-Qurashi’s wife and two children, who were killed when the leader blew himself up.
