Women were the main victim of ISIS chief Baghdadi's cruelty, tells his former army man

During the operation, US soldiers used the DNA from those samples to positively identify Baghdadi from the remains found in the compound after the suicide blast, that killed him and his three children on Saturday last week.

Announcing the death of Baghdadi on Sunday, Trump said Baghdadi died "after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming" during a raid by the US forces in northwestern Syria.

"He reached the end of the tunnel, as our dogs chased him down. He ignited his vest, killing himself and three children. His body was mutilated by the blast," Trump said.
