ISIS leader Quraishi kills himself during Syria raid, U.S. says

14 Sept 02:06 Key points summarised by AI

ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Quraishi died by detonating explosives, killing himself and family members, during a U.S. military raid in northwestern Syria.
President Biden announced Quraishi's death as a major blow to the jihadist group and a clear message to terrorists globally.
Quraishi, who succeeded founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was identified as the orchestrator of the 2014 Yazidi genocide and overseer of ISIS's global network.
The operation, the largest U.S. raid in the region since Baghdadi's death, underscores continued international efforts against ISIS and its renewed insurgent activities.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
