al-Baghdadi Dead
Over the weekend US special forces executed a raid on an ISIS location in Syria that resulted in the death of ISIS strongman Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Baghdadi was the self-proclaimed leader of ISIS that had conquered large swaths of eastern Syria and western Iraq. He had established an Islamic caliphate in that area.
Baghdadi was responsible for some of the most heinous acts the modern world had ever seen. Baghdadi and his ISIS terrorists beheaded international journalists, buried journalists in the ground and ran them over with tanks. They brutally raped captives and drowned and burned Syrian civilians in cages. They burned a Jordanian pilot alive in a cage and murdered dozens of Coptic Christians on the beaches of Libya. ISIS captured and kept as sex slaves thousands of women.
Much of this was filmed and broadcast over the Internet.
