evidence: WASHINGTON — The Pentagon released photos and videos Wednesday of the raid that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and provided more details about the operation involving special operations forces and a now famous military dog. [...] The kill or capture raid was an air assault with eight helicopters pre-staged in Syria carrying special operations forces through hostile territory to the "isolated compound" in northwest Syria about 4 miles south of Turkey’s border in the Idlib province, according to McKenzie. The area is hundreds of miles from the lands that al-Baghdadi once controlled and has been largely dominated in recent years by anti-Syrian regime forces, including al-Qaida aligned groups, which opposed ISIS. [...] During Trump’s announcement Sunday from the White House of al-Baghdadi’s death, the president described the ISIS leader in his final moments in the tunnel "whimpering and crying and screaming all the way" as a U.S. military dog chased him. McKenzie, as Milley did during another Pentagon briefing Monday about the raid, could not confirm Trump’s telling of al-Baghdadi’s state before his death.
