Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron says the death of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a US special forces operation in Syria was just a step and the fight must continue to finally defeat the jihadists.
“The death of al-Baghdadi is a hard blow against Daesh (IS), but it is just a stage,” Macron writes on Twitter. “The fight will continue with our partners in the international coalition to ensure that the terror organisation is definitively defeated. It is our priority.”
