There have been reports of the death of Baghdadi many times in joint military action. But these reports could not be confirmed.
Washington| The terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) head Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi blew himself up after being surrounded by the US military. US President Donald Trump confirmed Baghdadi’s death during a live broadcast on TV. Trump praised the soldiers involved in the operation, saying that the mission was brilliantly accomplished. Some IS militants were killed along with him.
Baghdadi blew himself up in the tunnel
The US President said Baghdadi tried to flee the tunnel underneath his residence when the army arrived. He also took his three children together. During this time soldiers and military dogs followed him. When he couldn’t find his way into the tunnel, he blasted his suicide jacket. He and his three children were killed in the incident. Trump said Baghdadi’s body was damaged in the blast but was identified by the test.
US Army Operation in Idlib Province
Trump said Special Forces landed in the cover of military helicopters, planes and drones in Syria’s Idlib province to kill Baghdadi. Subsequently, the troops launched action against the terrorists. Trump recently approved the action against IS.
The tweets were given hints of Baghdadi’s death
Earlier, he tweeted Saturday night that something big had happened in Syria. However, then they did not say what time they were saying this. Shortly afterwards, the White House announced that Trump could announce something bigger.
Something very big has just happened!

Baghdadi declared himself the Caliph in 2014
Baghdadi was spotted at a mosque in 2014. Then, while delivering a speech, he declared himself the Caliph of Iraq and Syria. In Iraq and Syria, the US and its allied forces fought a long battle with IS militants. The US had put a $ 2.5 million (Rs 177 crore) reward on it. There have been reports of Baghdadi’s death many times in joint military action. But these reports could not be confirmed.
The video was released this year in response to the Sri Lankan attacks
Sri Lanka’s Christchurch blasts on April 21 killed 253 people. The IS then released a video of Baghdadi. It showed him taking responsibility for the Sri Lankan attacks. In the video, Baghdadi says, this fight is over. After this, there are more battles to come, which will continue until the doom against the enemy.
