ISIS' No. 2 killed in US special operations raid
WASHINGTON -- A U.S. military operation killed a top ISIS leader earlier this week, the Pentagon said today.
Abd ar-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli, aka Haji Imam, was a known terrorist who was said to be the group's second in command and minister of finance.
The announcement comes in the wake of a terror attack in Belgium that left at least 31 dead and 300 injured, for which ISIS has claimed responsibility.
