U.S. forces captured an alleged high-ranking member of the ISIS terrorist group on Saturday, Sept. 23, during a helicopter raid in northern Syria.
In a Monday press release, the U.S. Central Command (CENCTOM)—the military component that oversees operations in the Middle East, central, and south Asia—announced its forces had captured Abu Halil al-Fad’ani, a suspected ISIS operational and facilitation official. CENTCOM assessed that al-Fad’ani has had relationships throughout the ISIS network in the region.
