The IS erupted from the chaos of Syria and Iraq's conflicts and swiftly did what no Islamic militant group had done before, conquering a giant stretch of territory and declaring itself a "caliphate." U.S. officials said late Saturday, Oct. 26, 2019 that al-Baghdadi was the target of an American raid in Syria and may have died in an explosion. (Al-Furqan media via AP, File)

Washington. El enigmático líder del grupo Estado Islámico, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, quien presidió su guerra santa a nivel mundial y se convirtió en posiblemente el hombre más buscado del mundo, murió luego de ser blanco de un ataque de las fuerzas militares de Estados Unidos en Siria, dijo este domingo el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump.

El anuncio lo hizo Trump en la Casa Blanca y añadió que Estados Unidos había “llevado al terrorista número uno del mundo ante la justicia”.
