The anti-ISIS Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous has welcomed the US announcement of the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, reminding the world that it lost 788 fighters, while 3500 were injured in the war on ISIS in Sirte.

The operation said in a statement on Sunday that Khalifa Haftar's offensive on Tripoli is hindering efforts to terminate the presence of terrorists in Libya, pointing out that some of its fighters are defending Tripoli against Haftar's forces and the rest are searching for the remnants of ISIS militants in the desert.

The statement added that drone-backed attacks by Haftar's forces on civilians and civilian infrastructure such as airports pave the way for terrorism to resurface.

"This dirty war of Haftar's forces on Tripoli is a terrorist act against people who want democracy and peace." The statement reads.

The US President Donald Trump announced Sunday that Al-Baghdadi was killed in a special secret operation in Idlib, Syria, along with several of his companions and three of his children.
