Al Jazeera, 04 Feb 2022
A US military operation in Syria has killed ISIL leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi.
He is said to have blown himself up as special forces surrounded his compound in Idlib province.
It's believed he directed a prison siege in northeast Syria last month, one of the biggest attacks since ISIL was declared 'defeated' in 2019.
So how much of a threat does ISIL pose today?
