The Reverend Franklin Graham, head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, celebrated the taking out of the ISIS leader.

In a post to his official Facebook page, Graham thanked President Donald Trump for “keeping your promise to relentlessly pursue these enemies of our country who have taken so many lives.”

“This is an important reminder that we need to pray every day for our military who bravely put their lives on the line to protect us and other countries,” said Graham.

“I am very thankful to God for all those involved in this raid and that none of our troops were killed.”
