The US military eliminated the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Syria, said US President Donald Trump at White House.

“Last night, the United States brought the world's number one terrorist leader to justice Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead,” Al Jazeera reported quoting Trump. 

According to Trump, the ISIS leader died after running into a dead-end tunnel in the village of Barisha and ignited an explosive vest during the raid, killing himself along with three of his children.

”He was a sick and depraved man, and now he's gone," Trump said. "He died like a dog, he died like a coward.”
