The establishment media has largely ignored anything that remotely resembles a Trump administration success, but President Trump’s counterterrorism program has killed at least 370 jihadists in 9 months, our old friend Dr. Seb Gorka has revealed.
In exclusive remarks to John Soloman’s “Just the News” Dr. Gorka revealed at least 370 suspected jihadists have been killed in the first nine months of President Donald Trump’s second term, a swift reckoning that has hampered major Islamist groups from Africa to the Middle East, and set the stage for stepped up counterterrorism efforts on U.S. soil, said the White House counterterrorism chief.
“We're actually turning most of them into red mist,” Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, said in a wide-ranging interview Tuesday as he described the scenes he has watched on closed-circuit military cameras weekly when U.S. munitions strike terror targets.
Gorka shared the names with the Just the News, No Noise television show of several suspected terrorists who were killed by air strikes, drone strikes or special forces since Trump was sworn in on Jan. 20, including:
- Abu Khadijah, a top Islamic State (ISIS) leader whose death was confirmed by Iraq in the spring
- Ahmed Maeleninine, an ISIS recruiter, financier, and external operations leader who was taken out in Somalia
- Muhammed Yusuf Ziya Talay, a senior leader in Hurras al-Din, the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria.
On February 1, 2025 the BBC reported President Trump stated he ordered military air strikes on a senior attack planner and others from the Islamic State (IS) group in Somalia.
"These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies," Trump posted on social media.
"The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians."
In a statement issued after the strikes, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said "our initial assessment is that multiple operatives were killed in the airstrikes and no civilians were harmed.”
Hegseth said the strikes "further degrade" the ability of IS "to plot and conduct terrorist attacks" and "sends a clear signal that the United States always stands ready to find and eliminate terrorists.”
Gorka said the 370 figure was recently declassified and does not include members of the Iran-backed Houthis rebel group that was struck in Yemen by U.S. forces after launching attacks on Americans and Western assets in the region.
“So outside of the Houthis campaign, we have killed 370 leading jihadists around the globe,” Gorka said. “Those who have blood on their hands have killed Americans or who are planning to kill Americans. So as we say in the National Security Council, America's back in the business of counterterrorism, thanks to President Trump.”
Mr. Soloman reported Gorka also issued a stark warning that the FBI, Justice Department and Homeland Security Department are working closely with his team to dismantle terror cells that snuck onto U.S. soil under the Biden-era border policies and to punish supporters funding groups that spread anarchy or plan assassination plots against Americans.
