From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>United States Special Operations commandos carried out a risky raid in northwestern Syria on Saturday against a senior terrorist leader there, two senior administration officials said late Saturday.<\/p>\n

A senior American official said commandos and analysts were still seeking to confirm the identity of the terrorist, who the officials said was killed in the operation when he exploded his suicide vest. <\/p>\n

But a person close to President Trump and a senior American official said that the target of the raid was believed to be the leader of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. A senior administration official said that the president had approved the mission. <\/p>\n

With Trump in charge, it will be al-Baghdadi, whether it is or not. No doubt he will attribute the success to his own superiority and claim that the intelligence for the location is a byproduct of his brilliant plan to withdraw US troops from protecting the Kurds. For the record, the military has been watching that location closely since September, and the intelligence came from our former allies, the Kurds. It had nothing to do with Trump.
