Survivors of 2015 Paris terror attacks warn the fight against extremism isn't over with death of Islamic State leader.
FILE - This file image made from video posted on a militant website April 29, 2019, purports to show the leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, being interviewed by his group's Al-Furqan media outlet. The IS erupted from the chaos of Syria and Iraq's conflicts and swiftly did what no Islamic militant group had done before, conquering a giant stretch of territory and declaring itself a "caliphate." U.S. officials said late Saturday, Oct.
Al-Baghdadi was responsible for directing and inspiring terror attacks across continents and in the heart of Europe. His killing by U.S. forces, which was announced Sunday, leaves the Islamic State without an obvious leader, a major setback for an organization that in March was forced by American troops and Kurdish forces out of the last part of its self-declared “caliphate,” which once spanned a swath of Iraq and Syria.
“We have no regrets,” he said. “It would have been even better if al-Baghdadi could have been captured and sent to trial ... That was probably impossible, we knew that for a long time.”Philippe Duperron, president of 13onze15, a victims’ association, lost his son Thomas in the Bataclan attack.
