ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi targeted, believed dead in US raid in Syria: Sources

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State last seen alive in a video in April, was targeted in a strike by U.S. Special Operations Forces in Syria on Saturday, according to three U.S. officials.One official told ABC News al-Baghdadi is believed to have detonated a suicide vest he was wearing as a U.S. special mission unit carried out a ground raid in Idlib. The building containing al-Baghdadi was leveled by U.S. operators, the official said.

The White House declined to comment, saying the president was planning to deliver remarks at 9 a.m. EDT Sunday. No details were provided on what would be included in President Donald Trump's remarks.The video in which al-Baghdadi appeared earlier this year, only his second, showed him discussing losing the group's Baghouz stronghold as well as praising deadly attacks in Sri Lanka.

There had been a $25 million U.S. bounty on the head of al-Baghdadi, who, in his only previous video, recorded in a Mosul mosque in 2014, called himself"Caliph," or leader of all Muslims.

What I see is all those ISIS caravan/trucks all together would be a good time for a drone strike.

Trump haters can’t stand when potus has great success.

So ISIS alleged commander alBaghdadi was killed AGAIN and AGAIN its 'a very good day' as all the systemic clowns claim.. He had been killed again on June 2017 but i guess it was unofficial.. Of course ISIS is needed so jihadis paychecks will keep on untill we invent sth worst.

Great! Now let’s go home!

Nobody but RandPaul and POTUS thinks this is the end of ISIS.

Is this one of the experts who said ISIS was going to be resurging because of Trump's decision to leave Syria?🤔

Big distraction ..... for a big impeachment news this week!

Until you find out there was another mass shooting. We don't care about foreigners problems fix ours first!

We still have a lot of work to do

Quit spinning the news and just report it, your opinions dont mean shit.

Talk to Special Forces who killed him.They don’t seem happy with Donald claiming credit. Trump wasn’t even trusted to give the OK after betraying Kurds, letting other ISIS escape, and since 2016 undermining U.S. Intel who provided the location

Yes I remember them saying the exact same thing when bin laden was killed.. our media is the worst

Not one single thing will change. Trump will continue to lie and ISIS will continue to grow.

20 years of being in the Middle East, much better place now? Shut this guy up.

Jeez, they got Badhadi...again! This jingoistic 'we got'em' parading is ridiculous. Changes nothing as long as west backs Turkey and Islamist militias in Syria. USA out. Drop Turkey now.

Sure

Cut off one head, others grow

nothing to thank trump for, regardless.
