Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was buried at sea dying in a weekend raid on his compound in Syria, the head of the U.S. Central Command says.
The head of United States Central Command says Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was buried at sea after a weekend raid on his compound.
Gen. Frank McKenzie told reporters Wednesday that al-Baghdadi died after he exploded a suicide vest just before U.S. troops were going to capture him.The U.S. said earlier that three children were killed.__A U.S. counterterrorism official says he expects a new Islamic State leader to emerge after the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and warns that the extremist group’s planning of major attacks probably will go on as before.
“The ideology continues, the resonance continues, and that is a strategic concern for us,” Russell Travers, the acting director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said at a congressional hearing on global threats. Travers says the killing of IS leader al-Baghdadi by U.S. forces in Syria on Saturday was a “significant” development. But he says that IS, which once controlled a large swath of Iraq and Syria, has a “deep bench” of figures who could replace al-Baghdadi.
