The operation that resulted in the death of Islamic State terrorist leader Abu Baker al-Baghdadi was named after Kayla Mueller, the American aid worker who traveled in 2012 to the border of Turkey and Syria to work with humanitarian organizations only to be kidnapped by ISIS in 2013 and reportedly raped by al-Baghdadi himself before she was reportedly killed in 2015.
“The chairman of the joint chiefs of staff named the operation that took down al-Baghdadi after Kayla Mueller, after what she had suffered,” White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” Sunday after President Trump announced the death of the terrorist leader. That decision, O’Brien said, “was something that people should know.”
