US President Donald Trump welcomed an unusual guest to the White House on Monday.

President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, an unidentified dog handler and first lady Melania Trump pose for photographs with Conan, the U.S. military K9 that assisted in the raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, on the Rose Garden colonnade at the White House November 25, 2019 in Washington, DC.

"We're very honoured to have had Conan here and to have given Conan a certificate and an award that we're going to put up in the White House," Trump told reporters on the steps facing the White House garden.Baghdadi, an Iraqi who rose from obscurity to declare himself"caliph" of all Muslims as the leader of Islamic State, died last month by detonating a suicide vest after he fled into a dead-end tunnel as elite US special forces closed in.

Marine General Kenneth McKenzie, the commander of US Central Command which oversees American forces in the Middle East, said previously that Baghdadi brought two young children into the tunnel with him. Both children were believed to be under the age of 12 and both were killed, he said.

This should be exciting to see, imagine a dog to catch criminals and terrorist, is this for real?

Crazy thing is all these leaders just happen to die & are immediately buried with no more evidence than footage of buildings collapsing & testimonies of the troops involved,very ironic for America which thrives on show off.

😂😂😂😂 lets celebrate animal achievement hey donald.

So what about the troops?

Crying baby here Jamnandas is daydreaming, how do you apply to cross-examine someone who hasn't testify at the commission previously? Jamnandas is scared of cross-examination On what basis does Jamnandas want to cross examine Moyane?He went to that circus and levelled all sorts of allegations against Moyane and when it's time to provide evidence he turns and say he wants to do the same.That thing is not a court of law
