Defense Sec. Mark Esper: 'Baghdadi's death will not rid the world of terrorism or end the ongoing conflict in Syria, but it will certainly send a message to those who question America's resolve and provide a warning to terrorists who think they can hide.'
President Donald Trump on Monday said he is considering releasing video of the U.S. raid in which ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed over the weekend.
"We had a great weekend for our country. We captured a man that should've been caught a long time ago. Unfortunately, he wasn’t," Trump said."He's done tremendous damage. But it was an amazing display of intelligence and military power and coordination, and getting along with people. Lots of great things happened. So that was a big, big day and a big weekend, and we're very happy about it.
On Sunday, when announcing the raid and al-Baghdadi's death at the White House, Trump said that watching a live feed from the scene of the operation was like watching"a movie."
