U.S. President Donald Trump said Americans might be able to watch
parts of the raid by U.S. Special Forces in which leader of the Islamic
State terror group Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi blew himself up.
Trump disclosed this to reporters on Monday while boarding Air Force One on his way to Chicago.
“The question was, ‘am I considering releasing video footage of the
raid,’ and we may take certain parts of it and release it. Yes,” Trump
said.
A raid on the compound of the leader of the Islamic State terror
group (banned in Russia) al-Baghdadi by U.S. Special Forces at the
weekend led him to kill himself with three children to avoid capture.
On Sunday, Trump announced that Baghdadi was chased to the end of an
underground tunnel by U.S. military dogs during the raid, saying he
whimpered, cried, and screamed all the way.
Accompanied by three children, Mr. al-Baghdadi then detonated a
suicide vest, blowing up himself and the children when trapped at the
end of a tunnel, Trump said.
Trump declined to inform House of Representatives Speaker Nancy
Pelosi of the raid beforehand, fearing that members of Congress would
compromise the operation with leaks.
