Death of ISIS chief raises more questions than it answers

The so-called caliphate has lost its leader again, but experts warn the resurgence of the group is likely to press on undeterred.
"Thanks to the bravery of our troops, this horrible terrorist leader is no more," declared US President Joe Biden, hours after the end of the operation that targeted Qurayshi in the Syrian rebel enclave of Idlib.
Biden may have hoped for the same fanfare that greeted his predecessors when they took out ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden before him. But ISIS experts were quick to throw cold water on claims of a significant blow to the group. Qurayshi is no Baghdadi, and a group that once commanded a piece of territory bigger than the United Kingdom is now a guerrilla insurgency with its leadership scattered.
