US Forces Eliminate ISIS' Top Leader in Syria; Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Kills Himself in US Raid

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS who presided over its global jihad and became the world's most wanted man, died yesterday when he detonated his suicide vest in a tunnel while being pursued by U.S. forces north of Idlib, Syria, killing himself and three of his children, the World Israel News website reports today (October 27, 2019).

"Last night, the United States brought the world's number one terrorist leader to justice," U.S. President Donald Trump announced at the White  House today.

Trump described a daring nighttime airborne raid by American special operations forces in Syria's northwestern Idlib province.

Trump added that no U.S. troops were killed in the operation.
