French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that Islamic militant Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi, the leader of Islamic State in the Greater Sahara, has been killed by French military forces. The location of the operation wasn't revealed by the French President. Sahrawi's group attacked US soldiers in a deadly attack in 2017. He had ordered the killing of six French charity workers and their Nigerien driver in August 2020.
