The United States military has conducted a special operations raid targeting one of its most high-value targets, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), Newsweek has learned. President Donald Trump approved the mission nearly a week before it took place.
A U.S. Army source briefed on the results of the operation told Newsweek that Baghdadi was killed in the raid.

CNN-ABC-NBC-CBS-MSNBC has nothing online yet. That's a good sign that a Trump Admin SUCCESS has occurred. Their silence always means that America has done something good.

There are 2 breaking news peices out and im waiting to find confirmation
Earlier today mixed repirts came out about a raid in Idlib involving multiple US helicopters.
Donald Trump just tweeted:
And sources are reporting Al Baghdadi - the leader of ISIS has been captured.
Imagine if he exposed how the US State Dept setup his operation in Libya to oust Qaddafi and Assad.
I guess that's nice, catching the leader. But does it really matter? I'm sure some other zealot will step in his place and claim some BS about being ordained to lead. And all the prehistoric dirt farmers will follow him with great zeal because their magical beliefs compel them to do so.
ISIS target believed to be Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi is killed in Syria: sources
A "high value ISIS target" believed to be Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi has been killed by U.S.-led forces in Idlib, Syria, a well-placed military source told Fox News on Saturday night.
The U.S. military cannot yet confirm the identity of the deceased target.
But at 9:23 p.m. Saturday, President Trump posted a Twitter message hinting at "very big" news.

Curious if the recent breakout from ISIS camps in northern syria lead to his being located.

More articles saying DEAD than CAPTURED so far.
He's Dead Jim: twitter.com...
Or hes alive.... but they dont want anyone knowing just yet.
I wonder if Anti-Trump Democrats will try to twist this into a bad thing... or finally have some morale compass to say well done.
They will give credit to the military and say they prevailed despite Trump's cut and run intentions.
