Iraqi intelligence paved way for Baghdadi raid: intelligence official

 

 

 

Iraq’s intelligence service provided the U.S.-led coalition with the exact coordinates of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s location, paving the way for the raid that reportedly killed him, an Iraqi intelligence official told Reuters on Sunday. 

The agency learned of Baghdadi’s location from documents found at a secret location in Iraq’s western desert after arresting an Iraqi man and woman from within his “inner circle”, the official said. 

“We have been constantly coordinating with the CIA, providing valuable information that the Iraqi National Intelligence Service has on Baghdadi’s movements and place of hiding,” the official said. 

“This cooperation was successful and achieved the ultimate goal of killing Baghdadi.” 

Baghdadi is believed to have been killed in a U.S. military operation in Syria, sources in Syria, Iraq and Iran said on Sunday ahead of a “major statement” due from U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House. 

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that Baghdadi was targeted in the overnight raid but was unable to say whether the operation was successful. 

A commander of a militant faction in Idlib province bordering Turkey said Baghdadi was believed to have been killed in a raid in the early hours of Sunday involving helicopters, warplanes and ground clashes in the village of Barisha.

ANKARA - Turkey said on Sunday that Ankara and Washington had been "coordinated" ahead of the operation, in which US media said they had targeted and killed ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

"Before the US operation in the Syrian province of Idlib last night, there was an exchange of information and coordination between the military authorities of the two countries," the Turkish Defense Ministry said in a tweet, without giving details.

In the same vein, a senior Turkish official said that the leader of the organization «IS» arrived at his hiding place in Syria about 48 hours before the operation.

The official told Reuters that the Turkish army had prior knowledge of the US operation in the Syrian province of Idlib and that Turkey would continue to coordinate its movements on the ground "with the parties concerned."

Newsweek magazine quoted a US military official as saying that the United States had not informed Turkey in advance of the military operation against ISIS leader.

"NATO ally Turkey, which supports local insurgents (in Syria), was not informed of the operation before it was carried out," the official told the paper.

According to information about the operation that revealed the site of al-Baghdadi, US intelligence has contributed to the detection of the head of the terrorist organization in the countryside of Idlib, according to CNN, while informed sources told Reuters news agency that the detection of al-Baghdadi's hideout While trying to smuggle his family towards the border with Turkey.

In this context, the magazine «Newsweek» confirmed that the CIA did not inform Turkey of the operation.

In turn, «the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights» that the helicopters targeted «for an hour and a half» Saturday night, Sunday, extremists close to «Daesh» in the province of Idlib in northwestern Syria, killing nine people.

The observatory said that eight helicopters «opened fire with machine guns», targeting midnight Saturday - Sunday house and a car in the vicinity of the village of Barisha in Idlib, where there are «groups close to (ISIS)».

The director of the observatory also explained that the helicopter appeared to belong to the US-led coalition against ISIS in Syria. He said: «We did not know the target character, and we can not deny or confirm the presence of Baghdadi».

A resident of an IDP camp near Parisha said he heard the roar of helicopters around midnight on Saturday and Sunday, followed by what he described as coalition bombing. "The planes were flying at very low altitude, which caused great panic among the people," Ahmed al-Hasawi told AFP.

He added that the helicopters «unknown source circled over the area of the Barisha mountains, carrying out raids on an area on the outskirts of western Barisha».

Baghdadi

 

The US mission to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi took part in special operations forces and was carried out in the Syrian region of Idlib , a US official said on Sunday . Sources in the area told Reuters Baghdadi was believed to have been killed in the military operation.

An extremist group leader was quoted as saying that the bodies of three men and three women were found with al-Baghdadi's body.

 

He uncovered that one body believed to be al-Baghdadi was recovered from the scene of the attack, and that of his deputy.

US authorities are carrying out additional DNA tests to confirm Baghdadi's death, US media reported.

Earlier, Iraqi state television broadcast footage he said was the US raid in Syria that killed Baghdadi . Video footage of the day, aired on Iraq television, showed a hole in the ground that appeared to be caused by a raid, as well as torn and bloodied clothes.

The US military is conducting DNA tests to confirm Baghdadi's death.

On the Iraqi side, an intelligence official said that Baghdad learned of the site, which witnessed the assassination of Baghdadi, after the arrest of an Iraqi and an Iraqi close to the leader of ISIS. The Iraqi intelligence that the confessions led to a site in the desert included documents on the site of Baghdadi and his movements.

He also revealed the Iraqi intelligence official to provide the international coalition with the exact coordinates of the site of Baghdadi.

Confirm the identity of Baghdadi

"The death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a US raid in Idlib," said Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin on Twitter.

It quoted an American source as saying: "We have long suspected that Baghdadi was hiding in Idlib."

She added that between 50-70 members of the US military service Delta participated in the raid, in addition to six helicopters.

"Biometrics, which means body biometrics, immediately identified al-Baghdadi," she said, adding that US forces were based in Erbil, northern Iraq.

I don't know, I just have a feeling that he isn't dead.  The guy has too many people that looks like him.  He will show up 2 weeks later saying he is still alive and well and wishing death upon the west.  I hope he is in hell now covered in pig feces but I doubt it.

" Notorious Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in a US military operation in northwest Syria, according to reports. He supposedly detonated a suicide vest during the raid."

( ISIS target believed to be Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ). In situations such as this, you'd like to present more evidence that belief.  

 

Providing the " remains of the target "  for photo OP, much like the hunter standing over his glassy eyed, lights out nobody home kill, with a great big smile on his face, is most preferable.

 

However, the " Bucket & Sponge Crew" won't even be required as " little remains " of the target. ( perhaps there might be remains - guess we'll see soon enough ).

 Good Kill Boys ! ! !

 

N.B. Thumbs up to Iraqi Intelligence for their most valuable Intel that led to the Final Outcome. Now we know where the Smart folks are in Iraq. Don't suppose " youse guys " would consider a post in the new Parliament ?

Trump: Daesh leader Al-Baghdadi ‘died a coward’ in US raid in north-west Syria

The US Army reportedly targeted Daesh group leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. (AFP)

Updated 14 sec

 

WASHINGTON: Donald Trump on Sunday announced that Daesh leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was killed during an overnight raid led by US military forces in Syria.

“The thug who tried so hard to intimidate others spent his last moments in utter fear, panic and dread, terrified of the American forces coming down on him," the US President said in a televised address to the nation from the White House.

Trump said Al-Baghdadi died in north-west Syria after running into a dead-end tunnel during a “daring and dangerous” operation.

“He reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down. He ignited his vest, killing himself and his three children. His body was mutilated by the blasts. The tunnel had caved on him,” Trump added.

 

 

Trump said that the raid – which required flying more than an hour by helicopter in both directions from an undisclosed base – had been accomplished by help from Russia, Syria, Turkey and Iraq.

Al-Baghdadi led Daesh for the last five years, presiding over its ascendancy as it cultivated a reputation for beheadings and attracted hundreds of thousands of followers to a sprawling and self-styled caliphate in Iraq and Syria.

He remained among the few Daesh commanders still at large despite multiple claims in recent years about his death and even as his so-called caliphate dramatically shrank, with many supporters who joined the cause either imprisoned or jailed. 

With a $25 million US bounty on his head, Al-Baghdadi had been far less visible in recent years, releasing only sporadic audio recordings, including one just last month in which he called on members of the group to do all they could to free Daesh detainees and women held in jails and camps.

 

Iraqi state television also posted another video claimed to be the blast site, which showed rubble and clothes strewn around a huge crater.

The death of Al-Baghdadi comes as a big boost for Trump, whose abrupt decision to withdraw a small but effective deployment of US forces from Syria caused fears that it would give Daesh remnants and sleeper cells a chance to regroup.

Trump had teased the news late Saturday with an enigmatic tweet saying merely that “Something very big has just happened!”

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said  the operation took place after its intelligence pinpointed Al-Baghdadi’s location.

Iraq also said it had provided his location.

"After constant monitoring and the formation of a specialised task force over an entire year, the Iraqi National Intelligence Service acting on accurate information was able to locate the den in which the head of Daesh terrorists Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and those with him were hiding in the Syrian province of Idlib," the Iraqi military said.

Turkey on Sunday said there was ‘coordination’ between Ankara and Washington before the operation.

“Prior to the US Operation in Idlib Province of Syria last night, information exchange and coordination between the military authorities of both countries took place,” the Turkish defense ministry said.

A war monitor said US helicopters dropped forces in an area of Syria's Idlib province where “groups linked to the Islamic State group” were present.

The helicopters targeted a home and a car outside the village of Barisha in Idlib province, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

 

 

The operation killed nine people including a Daesh senior leader called Abu Yamaan as well as a child and two women, it said.

An AFP correspondent outside Barisha saw a minibus scorched to cinders by the side of the road, and windows shattered in a neighbor's house.

A resident in the area who gave his name as Abdel Hameed said he rushed to the place of the attack after he heard helicopters, gunfire and strikes in the night.

"The home had collapsed and next to it there was a destroyed tent and vehicle. There were two people killed inside" the car, he said.

Ali Bakr, an expert on Islamist movements, told Al-Arabiya that it was interesting Baghdadi was hiding next to the Turkish border, especially with the history between Turkey and Daesh.

“I don’t know why Trump chose to kill him now, maybe he was trying to show that US withdrawal does not mean they will stop fighting terrorist organizations, or maybe because US elections are coming up,” he said.

“But it will be attributed to Trump and his administration, that they were able to kill the Daesh leader [although] in reality, Daesh will not be that affected … they can find other leaders who will take the lead.”

Ibrahim Al-Idlibi, a Syrian journalist, told Al-Arabiya the place that US forces raided could not be Baghdadi’s actually hiding place, as it was “too open.”

“He was possibly meeting with other countries’ intelligence experts. We do not know who was he meeting there or who gave the information that he was there,” he said.

Iraq’s Mosul breathes easier after death of ‘butcher’ Al-Baghdadi

 

“The people of Mosul should have a huge party,” said one city resident

“I’ve had three strokes because of Daesh,” recalled another

MOSUL: Five years after he made their hometown infamous as the heart of his “caliphate,” residents of Iraq’s Mosul said Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi’s death should be marked only one way — with “a huge party.”
In June 2014, Al-Baghdadi climbed a set of stairs at the Al-Nuri Mosque in the northern Iraqi city and declared himself “caliph” over millions of people in Iraq and Syria.
The announcement unleashed a volley of violence that killed thousands, displaced millions and left cities across both countries in ruin — including Mosul.
On Sunday, US President Donald Trump announced Al-Baghdadi’s death in a US special operations raid some 700 kilometers (430 miles) away in rural northwestern Syria.
“The people of Mosul should have a huge party,” said 37-year-old city resident Khaled Waleed, wearing a baseball camp and white shirt.
“This criminal, this butcher Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, he killed and slaughtered everyone,” he said bitterly.
Born in Iraq’s western Samarra in 1971, Ibrahim Awad Al-Badri took up the name Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi as he rose through the ranks to become Daesh’s feared chieftain.
His fighters burst into Mosul in the summer of 2014 and he made his first and only public appearance shortly afterwards to declare an Islamic “caliphate.”
Extremists imposed a strict interpretation of “sharia” there: music and smoking were banned, and any perceived violations were met with brutal punishments — including public beheadings.
“I’ve had three strokes because of Daesh,” recalled Hani Mahmoud, 54.
“My house burned down. My car was set on fire,” said the portly man with a closely-trimmed white beard.
Umm Alaa, an Iraqi woman dressed in a worn black robe, said Al-Baghdadi “made our lives hell.”
“There’s not a single house they didn’t attack, not a single house they didn’t oppress,” she said.
“This is a festival, a festival for all Iraqis because he destroyed us,” she added.
Daesh kept Mosul in its grip for three years, until a ferocious offensive by US-backed Iraqi troops ousted the extremists in 2017.
But the group left behind a horrifying legacy.
Many of Mosul’s neighborhoods, particularly the historic Old City which was the last area to be retaken, remain in ruins.
Slabs of concrete hang off destroyed and abandoned buildings like oversized hangnails.
The historic Al-Nuri Mosque stands gutted and covered in graffiti, while the adjacent ancient minaret — long the city’s symbol — was blown up in the violence.
Many residents have yet to return because their houses remain littered with unexploded ordnance or are damaged beyond habitation.
There are some 200 mass graves across the country where the remains of thousands of suspected Daesh victims have yet to be identified.
Several thousand people from the Yazidi minority are still missing, five years after Daesh ravaged their heartland near Mosul.
Bashar Hussam, 31, survived life under Daesh — unlike his father.
“My father had a blood clot and they didn’t let us leave until he died in front of my own eyes,” Hussam said.
While glad to see Baghdadi perish, he said it was not quite the happy ending he had hoped for.
“We want the other good news — that they rebuild our houses, that we go back to work and to our livelihoods.”

Kurdish commander reveals 5 month intelligence op led to ISIS leader Baghdadi’s ’killing’

With Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi reportedly killed in a US operation in Syria, a commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has claimed that a joint US/SDF intelligence campaign led to his demise.

“Five months ago, there was intelligence work on the ground and a thorough prosecution until a joint operation eliminated terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,” General Commander Mazloum Abdi tweeted on Sunday. 

“We thank everyone who contributed to this great work.”

The notorious Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) caliph was reportedly killed on Saturday in northwest Syria, in a US military operation involving American special forces, helicopters and drones. US President Donald Trump let fly a cryptic tweet announcing “something very big has just happened!” while multiple sources confirmed to Reuters and other news outlets that the terrorist was indeed taken down.

 

Abdi’s Kurdish fighters had long been US allies in the fight against Islamic State. However, Trump took heavy criticism for pulling US troops out of Kurdish-held territory earlier this month. With the US president accused of “abandoning” his allies, Turkish forces moved in to take this territory, until a ceasefire was called last week.

Baghdadi’s forces embarked on a blitzkrieg campaign of jihad across the Middle East in 2014, seizing vast swathes of Syria and Iraq, after the militant leader declared himself Caliph of the Islamic State that summer. However, hunted by Syria, the US, Russia, Iran, and the SDF, Baghdadi laid low as his territorial gains were rolled back in recent years, surfacing only once in a video released by the jihadis this April.
