Beirut, Oct 31, 2019: The Islamic State terrorist group on Thursday confirmed in an audio statement the death of its founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Yahoo reported.
In a statement, it also named Abi Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi as its new leader.
The announcement comes four days after US President Donald Trump announced that al-Baghdadi had died in a raid during US special forces in northwest Syria.
Baghdadi killed himself during the raid by igniting a suicide vest, Trump said in a televised address from the White House. Test results from the aftermath of the raid had positively identified Baghdadi, Trump had said.
