Former local Air Force officer talks ISIS killing

A retired mid-Missouri Air Force officer says the killing of the head of ISIS by U-S special operations forces is a step in the right direction.

“A lot of politicians said America is now safer.  I’m not sure how true that actually is, but certainly that region is safer.”

Colonel Rik Combs says, while the death of Al Baghdadi may take ISIS out of the fight for now, he’s sure one of his lieutenants will step up to take command.
