US President Donald Trump confirmed on Sunday that the reclusive leader of the terrorist group was killed overnight.
Trump said al-Baghdadi fled into a tunnel with three children as US forces pursued him. There, he detonated a suicide vest.
No US forces were killed or injured in the raid, Trump said.
He added that al-Baghdadi's identity was positively confirmed by a DNA test conducted onsite.
