ABU Bakr al-Baghdadi has been buried at sea after he was killed in a raid by US special forces.

The terror chief was buried according to Islamic rites and it comes as Donald Trump says he wants to release video of Saturday’s operation.

Baghdadi was most high profile targeted US military strike since the dramatic killing of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011.

The al-Qaeda chief and architect of 9/11 was also given a burial at sea according to Islamic rites.

Donald Trump said Baghdadi died like a dog" when he blew himself up in a tunnel as he fled US special forces.

The President said the ISIS chief – who became the world’s most wanted man – died "crying, whimpering and screaming and bringing three kids with him".

Hailing Saturday night’s operation as an “unbelievable success” Mr Trump called it a “great night for the US and for the world" as they had brought the "world's greater terrorist leader to justice".

In a further blow to ISIS, Baghdadi's second in command Abu al-Hassan al-Muhajir was also killed.

Further details have emerged about the audacious operation, carried out after midnight in the village of Barisha in Syria.

Eight American military helicopters flew over territory controlled by Russian and Syrian forces, flying over heavily militarised territory controlled by multiple nations and forces before landing at Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's compound.

CNN reports that several other US aircraft and ships were also involved in the covert nighttime mission.

Both operations were carried out with the help of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

Stunned villagers had no idea that the ISIS monster was in their midst, hiding at a compound in northwestern Syria.
