Death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - End of Daish?

Yesterday, apparently US Special Forces had launched an attack on a Daish-controlled facility deep inside Syria and had managed to eliminate the reclusive Daish leader.  The unnamed US Special Forces unit was said to have successfully eliminated the enigmatic leader of Daish after years of hunting the man.  Born Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim al-Badri al-Samarrai, he came to prominence after Daish successfully wrestled Mosul from Iraqi Government back in July 2014.

Kematian Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - Penghujung kepada Daish?

Semalam telah dilaporkan bahawa satu unit Pasukan Khas AS telah melancarkan serangan ke atas satu fasiliti yang dikuasai oleh Daish di dalam Syria dan telah berjaya membunuh pemimpin Daish itu.  Pasukan khas AS yang belum dikenalpasti itu dikatakan telah berjaya membunuh pemimpin Daish yang penuh enigma itu setelah bertahun-tahun memburunya.  Dilahirkan sebagai Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim al-Badri al-Samarrai, dia mula mendapat perhatian dunia selepas Daish berjaya merampas bandar Mosul daripada kerajaan Iraq pada Julai 2014.
