I just heard an announcement that the successor to Al-Baghdadi just met his 72 Virgins. I don't know what he is going to do with all those young men who could not find a woman, but hey, maybe he is smoking cigars in hell with them.
Here it is in print: yesterday I just heard the news story. At that point there was nothing in print.
"Just confirmed that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's number one replacement has been terminated by American troops. Most likely would have taken the top spot - Now he is also Dead!" the president tweeted.
The White House did not immediately clarify which ISIS leader the president was referencing. But a State Department official confirmed Monday that a strike did kill ISIS spokesman Abu al-Hassan al-Muhajir in a strike on Sunday, CBS News Pentagon correspondent David Martin reports.
