The Islamic State group leader who reportedly had a $25 million bounty on his head is believed to have been killed in Syria.

A "high value ISIS target" -- believed to be Islamic State mastermind Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi -- was killed by U.S.-led forces in Idlib, a well-placed military source told Fox News on Saturday night.

A senior Trump administration official later confirmed the source's account.

But at 9:23 p.m. Saturday, President Trump posted a Twitter message hinting at "very big" news.

Operation Obliteration: How US gunships cornered ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before he 'dragged three children with him into a dead-end tunnel and detonated a suicide belt' - as Donald Trump said he watched live on TV link 'like a movie'

  • Trump announced ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi 'died like a dog' after being run down a dead-end tunnel
  • U.S.-led forces descended on al-Baghdadi's lair in Idlib, Syria overnight, where he was cornered in the tunnel
  • Five years ago al-Baghdadi launched his self-styled 'caliphate' which brought new wave of terror to the globe
  • His murderous reign came to an end after he detonated his own suicide vest and killing three of his children
  • Abdullah Qardash, who previously served under Sadam Hussein, is now thought to be the new ISIS leader

It was shortly after midnight in the remote village of Barisha that residents heard a familiar noise coming from above.

The whir of rotor blades in the darkness signalled something was coming, something military – which, in these parts, usually brings death.

Sure enough, within minutes the sound of bullets piercing the air followed.

But this was no usual firefight, with those brandishing automatic weapons on the ground severely outgunned by an enemy they had not been expecting.

For the footsoldiers still loyal to the Islamic State terror group were caught by surprise by the crack American team descending upon their high-profile prize – Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the world's most wanted man.

Five years after he had launched his self-styled 'caliphate', and brought a new wave of terror to the globe, the net was finally closing on the IS leader.

BTW
The pentagon report included the dog's injuries... injured by exposed live electrical cable in tunnel after Baghdadi blew himself up.
Dog said to have recovered from injuries and returned to duty

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: IS leader's underwear 'stolen' for DNA test
29 October 2019

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have said their spy stole Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's underwear which was then DNA tested and used to prove his identity before he was killed.

A senior SDF commander claimed their source also played a vital role in tracking down the Islamic State (IS) leader's location before an operation by US special forces in Syria.

Baghdadi killed himself in the raid.

US President Donald Trump has downplayed the role of Kurdish forces.

When announcing the raid on 27 October, Mr Trump said the Kurds provided "helpful" information but added that they had not carried out "a military role at all".

But Polat Can insisted the SDF played an important part in the raid in a Twitter thread posted on Monday.

"All intelligence and access to al-Baghdadi as well as the identification of his place were the result of our own work. Our intelligence source was involved in sending coordinates, directing the airdrop, participating in and making the operation a success until the last minute," he said.
