At least that is how he may well end up presenting it, if none of his advisors can stop him ...
Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi believed dead in US raid
Donald Trump expected to make statement at 9am Washington time
The people who deserve much of the credit are of course the intelligence officers who took advantage of the strong likelihood of al-Baghdadi related activity in view of the current very fluid situation, and managed to pick up the traces that pointed to his likely location.
It's good that he is (almost certainly) gone. Unfortunately, it is not likely that Isis-related terrorism is about to fade away in the near future as a result. It is unlikely that al-Baghdadi has exercised executive control over the organisation for some time now, given the heavy security under which he has been obliged to live.
The leader of the Islamic State terror group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is believed to have died in a US raid in north-western Syria overnight, intelligence officials have claimed.
The raid followed a month-long intelligence operation that had tracked Baghdadi to the region through a smuggler who had moved the wives of two of his brothers from Iraq to Idlib, two officials told the Guardian.
Donald Trump is due to make an announcement at 9am (1pm GMT) on Sunday in Washington, having tweeted on Saturday night without explanation: “Something very big has just happened!”
Intelligence officials believe Baghdadi may have detonated a suicide belt as troops approached a house near the Turkish border in which he was hiding. The blast is thought to have also killed two of his wives.
Explosions and gunfire were reported from the small town of Barisha at about 1.30am Syrian time on Sunday. It is understood that the Isis leader had been tracked to the home of one his bodyguards who attempted to defend him. The raid is thought to have left at least nine people dead.
Iraqi state television aired footage on Sunday that it said showed the raid.
