On Sunday, Trump had announced that Abu Bakr, the most wanted terrorist in the world, was killed in an operation launched by the US Army in Syria’s Idlib province.
Speaking at a press conference, Trump confirmed the death of the ISIS chief and said that Baghdadi “died like a dog, died like a coward” in operation conducted by the US special forces in the Syrian province of Idlib. Trump said that “al-Baghdadi died inside a tunnel with three of his children, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way.”
The notorious ISIS Leader had been on the run for five years. Back in April, al-Baghdadi appeared in a propaganda video a week after a series of bombings rattled Sri Lanka, in which more than 250 people were killed.
