The attack which had killed the Raymi occurred in January. Trump had initially suggested that the US had carried out the attack in Yemen in a series of retweets on Saturday, according to the New York Post.
According to Trump's statement, Raymi joined al-Qaeda in the 1990s and was the leader of AQAP. He was a US-designated terrorist, according to the Counter Terrorism Project (CTP). The AQAP leader before him, Nasir al-Wuhayshi, was killed in a US drone strike. Trump's statement did not clarify in what matter Raymi, who was the military leader of AQAP until taking over in Wuhayshi's place, died, though numerous reports suggest that it was also in a US drone strike. -Full Report
