US Central Command (CENTCOM) killed Bilal Hasan al-Jasim, who had direct ties to an ISIS terrorist responsible for an ambush which killed two US service members and an American interpreter on December 13, 2025. "There is no safe place for those who conduct, plot, or inspire attacks on American citizens and our warfighters," CENTCOM stated.
