Islamic State leader killed in US special forces raid - a podcast by RNZ

The leader of Islamic State has been killed in an overnight US special forces raid in northern Syria.
The operation targeted an IS safe house in the rebel held Idlib province. President Joe Biden announced Abu Ibrahim al-Hashim al-Qurayshi's death at a special news conference overnight.
Thirteen other people, including women and children, were also killed when al-Qurayshi detonated a bomb that killed him and members of his own family, rather than face capture.
Washington DC correspondent Simon Marks spoke to Corin Dann.
