The affiliate has long been considered the global network\u2019s most dangerous branch for its attempts to carry out attacks on the U.S. mainland. Trump said the U.S. and its allies are safer as a result of his death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to protect the American people by tracking down and eliminating terrorists who seek to do us harm,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump confirmed reports that al-Rimi had been killed, he did not say when the U.S. operation was conducted or offer any details about how it was carried out.<\/p>\n<p>Al-Rimi had said in an 18-minute video that his group was responsible for the Dec. 6 shooting at the base. He called the shooter, Saudi Air Force officer Mohammed Alshamrani, a \u201ccourageous knight\u201d and a \u201chero.\u201d The shooter opened fire inside a classroom at the base, killing three people and wounding two sheriff\u2019s deputies before one of the deputies killed him. Eight others were also hurt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Whichever way Trump got him, I&#8217;m sure it was LOUD!
