US Africa Command (AFRICOM) and Nigerian forces executed a precision air-land strike May 16th that took down Abu-Bilal al-Minuki — the number-two of a network globally — at his fortified compound in Metele, Borno State, Nigeria. Al-Minuki was the senior General Directorate of Provinces Emir responsible for global attack planning, hostage operations, and the financial networks funding every ISIS franchise on the planet. A former F-15E Strike Eagle combat pilot breaks down the full AFRICOM takedown — MQ-9 Reapers, Special Forces, AC-130 gunship, and months of patient intelligence work — plus what this decapitation strike means for the global ISIS network. Plus: Iran's nuclear deal hits a 48-hour deadline, China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) carrier makes a move in the Pacific, and Ukraine's $1,000 interceptor drone that's killing Iran's best weapon.
