ISIS confirms terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's death

In a new development, ISIS has finally confirmed the death of its terrorist chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This comes a little while after DNA analysis confirmed that it was Baghdadi who was killed in the US operation which was announced by Donald Trump on Sunday. Al Furqan, which is the official channel of ISIS, confirmed this in an announcement on Thursday. Al Furqan also announced that Abed Abraham Al Hashimi Al Quraishi will be the new chief of the terror group ISIS. 

DNA Tests 

The Syrian Kurds reportedly got hold of the ISIS terrorist leader's cloring via an undercover agent with the intent to identify him. Reports suggest that this spy was placed in the inner circle of Baghdadi. It is this spy who led the US troops to the ISIS’s 'caliph'.  As per the US President Donald Trump, the ISIS chief died "after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering, crying, and screaming all the way” before detonating a suicide vest.  The US Central Command in a tweet quoted Gen Grank McKenzie CDR USCENTCOM, “After Baghdadi's murder-suicide, our assault force cleared significant debris from the tunnel and secured Baghdadi's remains for DNA identity confirmation.
