Death of Daesh jihadi group�s leader Abu Bakr Baghdadi would have a great effect on the extremist organization, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan said.
MOSCOW (Sputnik)�� A US-led coalition of�nearly 60 nations has been conducting airstrikes against�the Daesh first in�Iraq and later Syria since�2014�� albeit without�the approval of�the Syrian government or the UN Security Council.
"We will destroy [Daesh], I have no doubt in�my mind. And we have to�remove the leadership that directs that organization to�carry out�these horrific attacks If we got Baghdadi, I think it would have a great impact on�the organization, and it will be felt by�them," Brennan told the NBC News network in�an interview released Sunday.
The Daesh is a terrorist organization prohibited in�many countries around�the world, including the United States and Russia. It operates mainly in�Syria and Iraq.
