Donald Trump announces that the Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed in a raid by US special forces on his Syrian safehouse, ending a years-long manhunt for one of the world’s most wanted terrorists.
Trump said the two-hour operation was conducted on 27 October Saturday night in the province of Idlib, one of the last areas of the country still outside Syrian regime control, and that US officials had confirmed Baghdadi, 48, was among those killed.
