Iran Press/America: Following the US special forces operation in northwestern Syria on Saturday night, in which Washington claims al-Baghdadi was eliminated, the mutilated body was immediately taken “to a secure facility to confirm his identity with forensic DNA testing,” Army General Mike Milley, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a news briefing.
Just like al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the head of ISIS/ISIL terrorist group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was reportedly 'buried at sea', RT reported.
While the raid and subsequent processes of identification and body ‘disposal’ were documented in numerous photos and videos, they are yet to go through a “declassification process,” according to the US general.
The Obama administration never publicly released any video footage of the 2011 raid that allegedly killed Osama bin Laden, or photos of his body, claiming they could pose a “national security risk.”
Washington’s public announcement that al-Baghdadi had finally been assassinated, this time for real, sounded confident, but has yet to be backed up by hard evidence, the UN Monitoring Team on terrorist groups said previously.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry has publicly questioned at least parts of the story, noting that despite Trump’s claims, it never opened up the Syrian air space under its control to US jets, and didn’t record any US coalition airstrikes in the area.
It is also worth noting that the United Nations hasn't confirmed the elimination of arch-terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
