(Washington) The US Defence Department has today released the first images and
videos of the special forces raid that killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,the leader
of the ISIS terror group, in Syria.
The death of Baghdadi was announced on Sunday by President Donald
Trump, who claimed the ISIS leader whimpered like a dog, before taking his own life with an
explosion in a tunnel dug within the compound. Special forces then picked
through the rubble left behind by the collapsed tunnel to identify the
terrorist's body.
In the videos, around a half dozen American troops can be seen approaching the compound, which is protected on the outside by walls that are blasted open. American officials say that six enemy fighters were killed during the special forces raid, while 11 children were safely removed from the house. Two children were reportedly killed during the operation.
Note:
No dogs were killed during the making of this video.
Fighting terrorists takes all types of support. This military dog assisted in capturing and killing the leader of #ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Thank you to all members of the U.S. Special Forces team for keeping #Hoosiers and all Americans safe. pic.twitter.com/Yu4f9riS4v— Rep. Greg Pence (@RepGregPence) October 28, 2019
