President Emmanuel Macron of France announced Wednesday that Adnan Abu Walid al Sahraoui, the leader of the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara, had been targeted in August.

“It’s another major success in our fight against terrorist groups in the Sahel,” Macron announced in a French-language tweet, according to The New York Times.

“The nation is thinking tonight of all its heroes who died for France in the Sahel in the Serval and Barkhane operations, of the bereaved families, of all of its wounded. Their sacrifice is not in vain. With our African, European and American partners, we will continue this fight,” Macron’s post added, according to Sky News.

In addition to the 2017 attack, al Sahraoui was accused of ordering the deaths of six French charity workers and a driver in Niger in August 2020.

Al Sahroui was targeted in an attack on a motorbike that took place between August 17 and August 22 in Mali, an African country that borders Niger, French minister for the armed forces Florence Parly said, according to CNN.

The operation took place between August 17 and 22, 2021, Parly said.

The strike was carried out by Barkhane, France’s Mali-based counter-terrorism force, Parly said, according to Reuters.

The group, called ISIS-GS by the U.S., was designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2018. The U.S. had posted a $5 million reward for information leading to al Sahroui’s capture.

According to a report by CBS, the Americans were killed as part of a mission hunting al Sahroui.

Army Sgt. LaDavid Johnson, Sgt. 1st Class Jeremiah Johnson, and Staff Sgts. Bryan Black and Dustin Wright “gave their last full measure of devotion to our country and died with honor while actively engaging the enemy,” according to a Department of Defense report that reprimanded commanders involved in planning the mission that resulted in their deaths.

“The investigation report also shows how Nigerien and French units assisted without hesitation to support the troops in contact and very likely saved the lives of U.S. and Nigerien Soldiers, several of whom were wounded in the attack,” the report said.

Thank you President Macron. Vive la France. One less Muslim terrorist piece of sh*t drawing breath. But still not even close to sufficient retribution.
