The notorious terror leader al-Baghdadi died "whimpering and crying and screaming all the way" into a dead-end tunnel, President Donald Trump said on Sunday hours after the successful operation.

"He reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased them down" and then detonated the suicide vest, killing himself and three of his children, according to the president.
