The Latest: Islamic State leader buried at sea, US says

The head of United States Central Command says Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was buried at sea after a weekend raid on his compound.

Gen. Frank McKenzie told reporters Wednesday that al-Baghdadi died after he exploded a suicide vest just before U.S. troops were going to capture him.The U.S. said earlier that three children were killed.__A U.S. counterterrorism official says he expects a new Islamic State leader to emerge after the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and warns that the extremist group’s planning of major attacks probably will go on as before.

“The ideology continues, the resonance continues, and that is a strategic concern for us,” Russell Travers, the acting director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said at a congressional hearing on global threats. Travers says the killing of IS leader al-Baghdadi by U.S. forces in Syria on Saturday was a “significant” development. But he says that IS, which once controlled a large swath of Iraq and Syria, has a “deep bench” of figures who could replace al-Baghdadi.

Shark 🦈 Food!

Which part of him? Didn't he detonate a suicide vest?

Its like he never existed.

Chumming the ocean?

Wait. I thought he blew himself and 2 kids up in a hole.

Happy Liberal Press just like Osama Bin Laden

Russia !

'burried at sea' meaning the fake killing of the guy is covered up cause we didn't really kill him

So he blew himself up but was buried at sea dying? Assuming you forgot the word 'After' (buried at sea 'after' dying)

Aww sleeping with the fishies

🗣was burieed ❓ ❓ ❓ was burieed✍️🤔❓🤔❓burieed ❓ uumm🤔❓

“Chicken Abu Baghdadi “As is traditional for extra flavor the chicken must be terrified before death ,usually chased by a Mercedes Or BMW but a dog works .2 Now Cover the chicken with Persian spices and explode with your favorite ied.

Should have flushed him down the toilet he would have eventually made to the sea.

Hmmm suspicious, that's the same shit the government claimed about Bin Laden.

IKR 👍🏻

The truth is, his head was burried in sea because the other body parts vaporised in the blast.

Should have left him to the vultures.

Weighted Mason jar?

Was he burried with head of pig attached?

There was nothing islamic about him. Its like Hitler a Christian in the same sentence

stop dumping so much garbage in the ocean

So, this is death number...what? Seven? Does he have two more lives left? No body, no proof...just like bin Laden... Sorry...we've been lied to for so long, we find it hard to trusty *ANY* so-called 'official report' anymore...

Ok

Rumor has it that they played the Baby Shark song as his body was dumped.

I don't recall previous presidents going to such lengths to turn this into a dog & pony show. I found this full display & graphic description to be very disturbing. Seems over-the-top to serve DT's ego.

Was he buried next to the 5 previously killed al-Baghdadis?

you mean the leftover bits?

You misspelled TERRORIST in your headline

Thank you, Donald J Trump! 🇺🇸

I think you left out the word 'after'
