Update: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been confirmed dead. He blew himself up as U.S. forces approached.
ISIS leader al-Baghdadi confirmed dead after apparent suicide during U.S. operation: sources
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead, sources have confirmed to Fox News.
Al-Baghdadi, who took over ISIS after his predecessor Abu Omar al-Baghdadi was killed in 2010, detonated a suicide vest, killing himself when U.S. Special Operations forces entered a compound in northern Syria where he was located, according to a U.S. defense official. No U.S. Special Operations forces were hurt or killed in the raid.
“U.S. forces did a terrific job,” a U.S. military source told Fox News.“This just shows it may take time, but terrorists will not find a sanctuary.” The same source told Fox News that biometric tests confirmed that it was indeed Baghdadi.
Original Story:
The cat has apparently been let out of the bag early after President Trump Tweeted “Something very big has just happened!” Speculation has matched with various reports that a U.S. military special forces unit operating in Syria has killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Something very big has just happened!

Other reports are saying he may have been captured, but the consensus among American journalists is the killing or capture of the most wanted man in terrorism since Osama bin Laden has taken place. The President is expected to announce the results of the operation at 9AM Eastern on Sunday.
Newsweek says they confirmed through military sources that Baghdadi is dead.
Trump Approves Special Ops Raid Targeting ISIS Leader Baghdadi, Military Says He’s Dead
The United States military has conducted a special operations raid targeting one of its most high-value targets, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), Newsweek has learned. President Donald Trump approved the mission nearly a week before it took place.
Amid reports Saturday of U.S. military helicopters over Syria’s northwestern Idlib province, a senior Pentagon official familiar with the operation and Army official briefed on the matter told Newsweek that Baghdadi was the target of the top-secret operation in the last bastion of the country’s Islamist-dominated opposition, a faction that has clashed with ISIS in recent years. A U.S. Army source briefed on the results of the operation told Newsweek that Baghdadi was killed in the raid. And the Defense Department told the White House they have “high confidence” that the high-value target killed was Baghdadi, but further verification is pending.
Reactions on Twitter have been mostly positive, though a handful of anti-Trump accounts posted their “yawns” while pointing out Baghdadi is no bin Laden. Nevertheless, it’s an important victory in the war on terrorism that may be the final nail in the coffin for the militant wing of the Islamic State. Over the past two years, the terrorist group has been decimated by various forces, including our Kurdish-led allies in the Syrian Democratic Forces.
With food shortages coming, it’s a smart move to order organic, cooked, freeze-dried chicken for long-term storage from Prepper Organics.

A world w/o Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi will be a better world w/o one of the most evil, murderous animals in human history. He eagerly destroyed lives & victimized the innocent in the most grotesque ways. If reports are true, justice has been delivered by the greatest nation on earth??

President Donald Trump killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, you know the way former President Obama killed Bin Laden. But Democrats already are pouring cold water on it. When you despise the president more than you love the nation. We all celebrated what Obama did.

Baghdadi has been more than elusive. Unlike bin Laden, Baghdadi has not put out regular messages to his supporters through public channels. Some have even speculated that he was already dead but ISIS was hiding the fact to keep morale from plummeting even further.
Democrats and mainstream media will scramble to unequivocally denounce all credit to President Trump for Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s death while simultaneously saying President Obama killed Osama bin Laden himself. The spin is real.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
