"It would be laughable but for the very real humanitarian suffering Russia has inflicted," the defense official said Wednesday. "We stand by the statement we made yesterday. We conducted a strike that targeted al-Adnani. We are assessing the results of that strike."A drone controlled by the US targeted ISIS leader, US defense officials told CNNUS official: Russia's claim would be "laughable" if it weren't for "humanitarian suffering Russia has inflicted"Mohammad al-Adnani had urged lone-wolf attacks against countries launching strikes against ISIS

PROBLEM: (CNN) On Saturday morning, most of us laughed off President Donald Trump's Twitter storm accusing former President Barack Obama of wiretapping his phones during the campaign. After all, as noted widely in the media, Trump had offered zero evidence for his bizarre claim. Soon, the jokes were flying at Trump's expense. That evening, on "Saturday Night Live," the show's "Weekend Update" co-anchor Michael Che said it best -- with a bonus reference to Ivanka Trump: "Well, this Saturday morning, while his nurse was at temple, Grandpa shuffled out of his room and got into his Twitter again." All I could think do is wonder is what's next: Trump accusing Obama of being the one who gave Warren Beatty the wrong envelope at the Oscars? Or maybe, even, Trump accusing Obama of killing Tupac?Obeidallah: Jokes about Trump accusing Obama of tapping his phones were everywhereBut his demand that Congress investigate this baseless claim means it's no laughing matter
