As US forces raided the hideout of IS chief Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Quraishi, the man who took over as the head of the terrorist group in 2019, the IS leader detonated a bomb and blew himself up. His body was thrown onto the streets outside. First responders reported that 13 people had been killed, including six children and four women.

The preparation for the operation which has been termed as “incredibly complex” started by early December. According to US officials, the operation to kill Qurashi could have been executed last year, but Biden chose the riskier course to minimise collateral damage.

The helicopter operation had been repeatedly rehearsed and the possibility that he would kill himself was also taken into consideration. Early this week, Biden was briefed on the final blueprint of the operation and he gave the go-ahead.

The explosion that the IS chief caused was on the third floor. US forces said they evacuated six civilians, including four children, from the first floor.

Quraishi was known as ‘Destroyer’ because of his brutal operations. Born in a Turkment family, he was the rare non-Arab leader of the IS. He had served in the Iraqi army under Saddam Hussein.

Though US troops zeroed in on the building and the floor that he was staying in, he never came out of the building’s third floor and all his communication with the outside world was through couriers.

As the operation began, Biden said, “God bless our troops’ and kept a tab real-time monitoring of the troops. When the operation began, Biden was finishing a call with French President Macron on a different subject, a White House official said. Pentagon said at one point, a helicopter involved in the raid suffered a mechanical failure and had to be destroyed rather than left behind.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
