Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Defense

Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement after President Biden announced that the leader of ISIS, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, was killed in a counterterrorism operation in northwestern Syria:

"Last night, America delivered justice to the leader of ISIS and struck a serious blow to this terrorist group. Our entire nation is grateful for the patriotism and dedication of our military personnel and intelligence community. On behalf of the Congress, I salute President Biden's strong leadership to keep our nation safe and secure.

"The death of Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi is a strong step forward in the fight against ISIS, but the death of this ISIS leader does not mean the death of ISIS. Congress remains ironclad in our commitment to our national security, and we will continue to work closely with the Administration to protect the American people."
