US Special Forces have killed a top ISIS commander in a secret raid in Syria and captured his wife who ran a human trafficking network which traded Yazidis, the Christian group from the North of Iraq for the terrorist organisation.

According to reports, Abu Sayyaf was killed in a firefight in eastern Syria today by special forces authorised by President Barack Obama, the Pentagon confirmed. It is believed he was responsible for controlling an ISIS-held oil field.

Pentagon chief Ashton Carter said the extremist, who helped direct military operations and oil smuggling for the extremist group 'was killed when he engaged US forces'.

His wife, Umm Sayyaf is known as a woman prisoner, the first US-held detainee of the war against Isis and questions have now been raised over where she will be taken.

A Yazidi girl who had been kept as a 'slave' by the couple was liberated in the dramatic raid and she will be reunited with her family.

None of the special forces were killed or injured in the raid.

The reason I love the u.s. government is that anything about their millitary mission is always kept secret until they achieve their aim.

The funny part about the American media is that they will still push the government story WITHOUT QUESTION. They simultaneously apologize for not having been critical enough in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq and, still, continue to publish whatever the White House of Pentagon say without question. And when one of their ranks actually does the work of investigative journalism, for example Seymour Hersh, the major news outlets circle the wagons defending the government and attack the journalist.

Don't be fooled. Obama is behind ISIS. This raid never happened. Why kill just one man when you can bomb ISIS fighters on ground. Obama is just trying to look as if he gives a fark about dealing with ISIS when he, the US and Saudi Arabia are behind the Sunni Arab muslim scums in ISIS, creating a sectarian army to fight Iran.

Don't be fooled with whatever this bastard liar says
