President trump says the leader of the so called Islamic State group, abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, has been killed during an operation by Us Special Forces. The is leader had been described as the worlds most wanted man, in 2011 the us officially designated him a terrorist and offered a reward of ten Million Dollars for information leading to his capture or death his death had been wrongly reported on several occasions. To his capture or death his death had been wrongly reported on several occasions. He emerged in 2010 as the leader of alqaeda in iraq, one of the groups that merged with is, and rose to prominence during the attempted merger with the al nusra front in syria. Our correspondent Quentin Sommerville reports, the ferocious sound of the firefight was held from. The ferocious sound of the firefight was heard for miles. Us forces dropped from helicopters and surrounded a compound. A brutal killer who has caused so much violence and death has been violently been eliminated. He died like a child. He died like a coward. The world is a much safer place. This man told the bbc what he saw. At around 11 oclock they started shooting the house. The house was com pletely completely destroyed. He had a guest. The house was completely destroyed. We recovered seven bodies from under the rubble, and two others on the main street. Its thought that the guest was the worlds most wanted man, abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State group. He was last seen earlier this year in a rare video, very much still in command of is. Its been a terrible yearfor the group. Their last remaining territory was lost in a bloody battle in the spring, leading to the capture of thousands of its supporters and their families. But the leadership of is fled before the attack began. Leading to the capture of thousands of its supporters and their families. This telling brings to an end the reign of a man whose reign of terror clawed across the middle east. Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi was an icon for the organisation, inspiring attacks and motivating trips. Without a doubt this is a black day for the Islamic State movement. Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi we start to be far from here, possibly from the enright but it was here in these olive groves one of the most notorious and successful terrorists met his end. 0ur washington correspondent Chris Buckler explained that al baghdadis death was being seen as a hugely significant achievement by the administration. President transport for almost an hour and president transport for almost an hourand a semi president transport for almost an hour and a semi like a victory speech, there was triumphalist language used throughout and there is no doubt in regard this as something extremely significant. At one stage he saw this as a Top National SecurityPriority Office administration to find, capture or to kill abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. Administration to find, capture or to killabu bakral baghdadi. He says as far as hes concerned is commander he has directed the obliteration of the caliphate. It gives you the sense that president john is trying to sell this as a huge moment. And to some extent he has to because this time it might Foreign Policy has been under threat in recent weeks. Following turkey to invade Northern Syria which meant a lot of the Kurdish Forces which fought along the outer space to feel abandoned and betrayed. And in washington they struggle to understand what the white house policy for the middle east is at the moment. So this is President Trump essentially saying he has a huge moment here, that this has been something that is really ended Islamic State. But of course that is a question in itself. Even during that speech acknowledged there were su ccesses that speech acknowledged there were successes lined up after abu Bakr Al Baghdadi although he did say america had them in their sites. Tom batemen is at the turkey syria border. He gave us this analysis of what baghdadis death means for the region. We certainly got an extremely vivid account from President Trump of that special forces operation flying over territory which she repeatedly referred to as the most dangerous part of the operation because he said they had to fly over swathes of territory in syria which included that controlled by russian forces, by turkish forces, repeatedly talking about the strength of firepower that those Airborne Troops had to potentially come into contact with. He said that they didnt apart from some limited fire but he believed that not to be from any of the main players. He described it as just individuals who dont like helicopters flying over them. But he said the eliminated or terminated that fire. As for cooperation, he again repeatedly talked about the Different Countries and actors that they had to coordinate with and specifically thanked people. I thought it was really noticeable that you had an american president thanking syria, thanking russia, thanking other countries with which there has been not exactly a great deal of cooperation and coordination of the many other things. Over many other things. But when it came to this operation he was at pains to do that. And then he also spoke about the Syrian Kurdish people. He said they had been involved not militarily but it helped the americans. The kurdish militant fighters were active in syria of course and were so instrumental in eliminating the last territory of isis and so instrumental in removing Islamic State forces from Northern Iraq and syria. He thanked those as well. They have been saying, the leader has been saying, talking about what he described as a historic operation you have on the one hand the kurds and the americans paying tribute to each other over this operation. And then turkey here now into its third week of an operation across this border here which they are trying to clear what they see as a terrorist organisation. And we now have a situation in which there has been a ceasefire which has been for the most part holding. But i think this proves turkeyy and the americans and the kurdish militants across its border in a new realignment, a new phase of this relationship. Lets get some perspective on this. Vali nasr is a former Senior State Department adviser and professor atjohn hopkins university. How important was abu Bakr Al Baghdadi being regarded . How important was Abu Bakr Albaghdadi being regarded . He was very well recognised leader of isis and his killing in this manner by american forces, american led forces isa american forces, american led forces is a massive psychological blow to the entire jeopardy is a massive psychological blow to the entirejeopardy enterprise and to isis. This is a significant defeat can isis regardless of the capacity they have on the ground. I think decapitation is very important. This is a massive psychological boost for President Trump and in a way takes a lot of the pressure off his decision to abandon syria stop jeff hardy enterprise. Jihadi. Abandon syria stop jeff hardy enterprise. Jihadi. Some will say this is remarkably convenient given the president position on syria. But the president position on syria. But the tone could be entirely coincidental. What is its significance when you compare it against for example the elimination of 0sama bin laden when president barack 0bama of 0sama bin laden when president ba rack 0bama was of 0sama bin laden when president barack 0bama was in office. It is abu Bakr Al Baghdadi more or less significant . In terms as iconic image in the eyes of americans he is not as large a figure as 0sama bin laden because isis, as large as threat as it was did not carry something un american soil on the scale of the 11th of september. But this is about to leave. The war on terrorism is important to americans and we are looking for signature victories and the killing of 0sama bin laden and the killing of abu Bakr Al Baghdadi our important milestones in this fight. The present war to claim. His critics will question the timing and mr chubb will try to downplay the achievement of president barack 0bama and im sure his critics will try to downplay this but there is no question this is a big political went. This is widely much like president barack 0bama is basking in this moment. It is an important moment that is been reported and will fill the new channels of the night is theirs for new channel tomorrow and people will talk about it. When all is said and done this isa man it. When all is said and done this is a man whod only appeared in public twice and had not been heard for several months. This is absence affect the capacity of Islamic State operatives on the ground in iraq and syria where they are still killing people . Yes it does because when you decapitate the head of an organisation like this there are issues of succession and it demoralises a lot of the fighters. It puts the question, the myth they propagate internally that they are resilient and americans cannot do anything to them. This is a momentary setback and they can get back on the front foot again. We saw the killing of 0sama bin laden actually weakened alqaeda sufficiently not for isis to come and take over. Something like this may happen. So the killing of abu Bakr Al Baghdadi does not make every terrorist in every operation in syria underwrite norway but this is a major setback particularly because a major setback particularly because a lot of the hold of isis on young people and their own fighters for recruitment and giving them engaged psychological. It is about the myth of invincibility, that history and religion and destinies on their side. In Something Like the killing of abu Bakr Al Baghdadi punctures a huge not met. Is this group exist 110w huge not met. Is this group exist now territory. Does it remain a threat. It does but you have to see how much of a threat . What carry out killings and potentially carry out operations in the west can significantly impact on the strategic landscape in the western amid all this . I do not think they can at this moment. The critics of President Trump very focused on isis because of his decision to withdraw from north east syria. Because of his decision to withdraw from northeast syria. But in reality isis doesnt really matter any more to the future of syria. It is the Kurdish People and turkey and russia and iran and the president Assad Government that are fighting for the future of syria. Isis is a marginal player in landscape landscape people use as an excuse for political issues. They dont really mutter about where things will settle in the end. Dont really matter. Lets talk to eric bolling, hes a former fox news host, and anchor of america this week. Hes also a friend of the president , in fact they had dinner on friday. I think it is the highlight of his presidency so far and clearly i think this is a major went from not only the United States but for the administration of President Trump but also the world. We have eliminated probably the most dangerous terrorist on the face of the earth. A lot of coaches will benefit from this. I hear a lot of the analysis going on. Matt countries will benefit from this. I see the Mainstream Media here and the states very much against President Trump tried to figure out a dark side and for me there isnt one. Seems to me this is a winner across the board. I would say if you listen to a speech very carefully hes been hearing Something Like this, you belong to we have been onto abu Bakr Al Baghdadi a couple of weeks. It was a very good chance he knew we were maybe just days away from eliminating abu Bakr Al Baghdadi and decided to pull the chip to from syria because we dont need to be there. He said at the end of the speech there is no reason to be there for 200 years, mitigating a war between syria and turkey. Let them fight them and less get un American People at stop lets get our American People out. I think it is good timing taking up a little of the caliphate. We do not be better to wait and we were certain he was eliminated before pulling up the chips . If there is a kind of linkage . 0k, fair enough, but that they have him and they have their eyes on him he cant go anywhere and maybe it is just a timing decision. Im notan maybe it is just a timing decision. Im not an actual policy decision. You are at the white house on friday night and saw the president. What it was ian . Was he looking like a man who had something he was desperate to tell you that just who had something he was desperate to tell you thatjust couldnt . No, he didnt look like that at all. I asked him. He was down in south carolina. Delivering a speech to an afg ha n carolina. Delivering a speech to an afghan american college. Might i ask them about syria and talk to him at length about the Oil Infrastructure i allowed him to explain what the filly was behind the tent in the aisle and he elaborated on it. It made a lot of sense that the girlish and isis make a lot of money by selling the stolen oil. Kurds. They were going to give it back to the kurds. End then detect isis. This morning he highlighted a big pa rt this morning he highlighted a big part of the decision, the policy, this all i was that it felt very much part of the strategic Long Term Plan more than we have finally found a guy and kill them. We protect the Oil Infrastructure so isis can gather hands on it again and take out the leader. I am baffled to see the anti donald trump crowd. The Mainstream Media over here im looking almost disappointed the start the Mainstream Media over here looking almost disappointed there is such a major victory for donald trump. With a comparison of the killing of 0sama bin laden, the timing of that do not been better for president barack 0bama who is facing the election. It was undoubtedly something they administration drew on heavily to say he is a strong commander in chief goes after people this was enemy number one because of the 11th of september attacks. Do you think this could be as viable to pertinent shop . The point of view of Many Americans abu Bakr Al Baghdadi had not made them fight some bin laden had made, not least because i have not been attacks on mainland america because he was such an elusive figure. That might as viable to President Trump . President barack 0bama takes the 0sama bin laden and the third year before it is about to President Trump takes down abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. Whether time . I President Trump takes down abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. Whethertime . I do President Trump takes down abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. Whether time . I do not know. My friend but im not involved in any of his policy decisions. It could not be better timing in my opinion the right now going into the final push almost a year to the day to the next election in 2020. Perfectly timed on both the military and strategic but also president ial and strategic but also president ial and political schedule as well.
