BREAKING: Trump approves Special Ops raid targeting ISIS leader Baghdadi and military says he's dead
The United States military has conducted a special operations raid targeting one of its most high-value targets, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State militant group ,has learned. President Donald Trump approved the mission nearly a week before it took place.
On Saturday night, after the operation had concluded, President Trump tweeted:"Something very big has just happened!" The White House announced later that the president will make a"major statement" Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Baghdadi's forces made lightning gains across both Iraq and Syria, and in 2014 he declared his group a global caliphate from the Grand Al-Nuri Mosque in Iraq's second city of Mosul in his only known public appearance as ISIS leader. Officially known from then on simply as the Islamic State, the group began to grab world attention not only for atrocities committed across the region, but in high-profile strikes on civilians in the West as well.
