Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS). A U.S. Army official briefed on the results of the operation told Newsweek that Baghdadi was killed in the raid.
Defense Department told the White House they have "high confidence" that the high-value target killed was Baghdadi, but further verification is pending.
My guess is waiting on DNA. We thought we had killed him back in 2009, but it wasn’t him. The funny/sad part is we did eventually capture him but he was released before anyone realized who he was.
