US kills ISIS honcho Abu Yusif in Syria


Sura 5:33 of the Quran, found in the chapter Al-Ma'idah:

"Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment."
Abu Yusif, an ISIS leader was blown to smithereens in a pinpoint strike in Syria by US Central Command forces, CENTCOM announced Friday afternoon. Another unnamed ISIS scumbag was also eliminated in the strike.

The strike happened in an area that was previously controlled by the Assad regime with Russia's help, as CENTCOM reported.

“As stated before, the United States — working with allies and partners in the region — will not allow ISIS to take advantage of the current situation in Syria and reconstitute," said CENTCOM commander Michael Erik Kurilla.

"ISIS has the intent to break out of detention the over 8,000 ISIS operatives currently being held in facilities in Syria," he said. "We will aggressively target these leaders and operatives, including those trying to conduct operations external to Syria."

The announcement of Yusif's sudden demise follows closely on the heels of the U.S. eliminating 12 other ISIS terrorists in Syria through precision strikes. According to CENTCOM, these operations aim to "disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, preventing the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek opportunities to reconstitute in central Syria."

This news comes in the wake of significant political upheaval in Syria; earlier in December, former President Bashar al-Assad was ousted by Syrian rebel forces, ending his 24-year tenure as president.
