BAGHDADI (ISIS LEADER) CONFIRMED DEAD

[HairOfTheDog]

He's been supposed or claimed dead by airstrikes in the past, but it's been confirmed that the piece of shit has really been killed at the hands of US Special Forces this time.  Good.

Here's the reported summary/sequence of events

--Last month, Iraqi-Kurdish officials detained one of Baghdadi's many wives, a nephew and the wife of one of his trusted couriers.

--The information from that trio led them, it is understood, to an ISIS hideout in the desert of western Iraq, a bolthole that was to prove extremely valuable.

--Inside they found some of the ISIS leader's personal possessions, including the coordinates of his secret location, a non-descript house in a part of northwest Syria that was controlled by Al-Qaeda, an enemy of Baghdadi.  The information was passed on to U.S. officials.

--Last night, what was labeled U.S. Operation Delta Force descended on the location using helicopter gunships and went into full force with a "capture or kill" order from President Trump.

--Baghdadi ended up detonating a suicide vest, killing himself and three of his children.  Several of Baghdadi's staff and companions were also killed in the raid.
