US President Donald Trump, who announced the death of the ISIS leader Baghdadi on Sunday, thanked Syrian Kurdish forces "for certain support they were able to give us", but did not elaborate.
Washington Post, in its obituary to ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi appeared to glorify the dreaded terrorist who killed himself by detonating his suicide vest during a raid by US troops.
The Reuters reported that US officials have confirmed that the operation took place but did not disclose details and did not say whether it was successful.
