In a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation on Tuesday, Dr. Obaid Al Ketbi, Assistant Foreign Minister for Military and Security Affairs, said: "The death of the terrorist Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi signifies a victory for all nations united in the fight against terrorism and extremism.
