Why troops burnt their chopper after killing ISIS head
The operation to neutralize ISIS Leader Al Qurashi has so far elicited lots of similarities to the Pakistan operation that killed AL Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
According to a report by a local daily, the operation to kill Qurashi had been rehearsed in detail several times. The US commandos had trained for every possibility from surrender to a firefight.
According to US officials, Qurashi was killed just 15 kilometers (nine miles) north of where Qurashi’s IS predecessor, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was neutralized.
According to a US source, the Helicopter was immediately destroyed which was a similar incident to the 2011 raid on the Pakistan compound of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. During the operation, a Special Operations helicopter crash-landed and also had to be destroyed.
