Death of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi
1: What Does Baghdadi’s Death Mean for ISIS? | CRUX+
President Donald Trump on October 27 said the elusive leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, had been killed, dying “like a dog” in a daring night-time raid by US special forces in northwest Syria.
Trump told the nation in a televised address from the White House that US forces killed a “large number” of Islamic State (IS) group militants during the raid, which culminated with Baghdadi cornered in a tunnel, where he detonated a suicide vest.
