Eliminating Terror

Baghdadi's DEATH, again.

There has been multiple terrorist attacks during this decade under Islamic influence; therefore, it has created, besides terror, prejudice towards that religion around the world. It has become the highlight of attention in the aftermaths that changed the severity of the issue such as the 911, Paris’ attack, and multiple attacks in bars and concerts. 

One of the main groups that has incited terror over the world is ISIS, an Iraqi ultra-conservative caliphate that strictly enforces Shariah, which was founded by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. 
They get their resources through extortion, the collection of taxes and fees in areas under their control, also by selling oil from fields it controls, making over $10 million per month and it has armed itself with weapons seized from the battlefield in Iraq and Syria; besides, it has also reportedly received funding from wealthy individuals in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey, and Qatar and then used the money to buy arms on the black market.

Since the moment its founder, Baghdadi, stood at the pulpit of Great Mosque of al-Nuri in Mosul’s Old City, in 2014, announcing the caliphate, ISIS followers have considered him as the supreme political and spiritual leader of Muslims. Is not a surprise why he is a principal target around the world and why they offer a  a $25 million reward.

There has been several reports of his death before but they

turned out to be false, but recently President Donald Trump has expressed a major victory for his administration.

On October 26th of this year, Trump assured a US raid successfully acquire his assassination, later on his most likely replacement. According to the U.S. account, Baghdadi ran into a dead-end tunnel in his hideout and detonated a suicide vest, killing himself and two children.

"Last night was a great night for the United States and for the world. A brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death, has violently been eliminated,"

Now we need to wait, what’s the next move from ISIS, if this is going to stop it of make it even worse.
