IS chief Al-Baghdadi died 'whimpering, crying' in US raid: Trump

The feared terrorist leader, Islamic State (IS) leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, died like a coward, "whimpering and crying" when cornered in a dead-end tunnel by United States Special Forces in Syria, striking a key blow against the group, President Donald Trump announced on Sunday.

His death on Saturday in a US Special Forces operation in the Idlib area of Syria is a setback to the IS for whom he was an inspirational leader, extending its tentacles even into India. As recently as two months ago, he had released an audio urging attacks worldwide by his supporters.
