President Donald Trump declared Sunday morning that ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was dead after a US military raid in northwest Syria over the weekend. The President said a US special operations forces mission went after the ISIS leader and there were no US deaths during the operation.  Several ISIS fighters and companions of Baghdadi were killed, including two women wearing suicide vests and three children. Trump would not provide a specific number of casualties, only describing those targeted on scene as "more dead than alive." Eleven children were moved out of the house and are uninjured, the President said. The death of Baghdadi marks the culmination of a years-long hunt to find one of the most wanted terrorists in the world and the man who declared a so-called Islamic caliphate in Iraq and Syria in 2014. I added this to our wiki page because I believe this is a very important event in American culture since the United States eliminated one of the most prominent terrorist threats in the world. 

Pain Level 10/10 - Lots of death
