US special forces kill Isis commander and capture wife in Syria raid –Pentagon spokesman tells Guardian: 'No one's going to Gitmo' | 16 May 2015 | US special operations forces have killed an Islamic State commander through a dramatic and secretive raid into Syria and have taken a woman prisoner, the first US-held detainee of the war against Isis [I-CIA-SIS] and a move that places immediate stress on one of Barack Obama's signature wartime policies. Ashton Carter, the US defense secretary, confirmed on Saturday that Obama ordered the elite troops to raid a location in eastern Syria and “capture” an Isis figure, Abu Sayyaf. Unusually, Carter said the raid also targeted the man's wife, identified as Umm Sayyaf. [I wonder what Obama and the US corporate-owned media would say about a raid on US soil by Syrian special forces?]
