Watch: Site where US raid killed IS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

“The helicopters were in the sky for around three hours. There were around 12 helicopters then. Jets came where they hit the house with six missiles on the same target,” the person can be heard saying.

Trump said al-Baghdadi died when he was caught at the end of a tunnel, “whimpering and crying and screaming all the way” as he was chased by American military dogs. Accompanied by three children, al-Baghdadi then detonated a suicide vest, blowing himself and the children up, Trump said.

“His body was mutilated by the blast,” Trump said, but he added that tests had confirmed his identity.

The United States had designated him a terrorist some eight years ago, and declared a bounty of $10 million (more than Rs 70 crore) on his head. Baghdadi, who was believed to have been born in Iraq perhaps in 1971, proclaimed himself Caliph of the Islamic State in 2013.
