talking about the organization he mentioned nothing about the ideology about the idea that actually which is the most dangerous part of it which is the idea that i don't. that hasn't produced with it but that the or other of the groups and in the region talking about the idea about by the images which is that they came from the root causes and the conditions of this region with its depth of ships under development external invasions interventions and all sort of underlying causes these ideas are still there but that is gone there will be someone appointed after them as the organization did in the past when has appeared desire was changed and then he came to power it definitely weakened the organization c.d.'s sit back for the for isis but we're not talking about

the ice is the organization to the we're talking about ideas and idolaters that out of still there the who the causes are still feeding into the aside the visions given that people say or analysts have been telling us in the past 3 hours now that you've got people who are still loyal to either islamic state and or its affiliates stretching from or covering an area literally on the globe from as far afield as afghanistan to nigeria in west africa is there a sense in which i saw me yet be more dangerous than it's been for a few years because some people have been saying to us will hang on the idea of creating a caliphate it in iraq was inherently flawed so it's better to have an a more firsts organization spreading itself thinly around the world because with morton communications and lots of money you can still carry on with their so-called war of attrition you know sort of. and to put this into perspective let's

remember how. it was a tag defeated all saw in 201-120-0120 extension 03 afghanistan and iraq and afterwards so the same exact the strategy of using security solutions bombing and killing. of the organization as an organization of the ideas or the i don't know. we saw that is author of all of that work is that we got isis which was way more dangerous than al qaeda and now we are repeating the same exact thing so instead of the isis being in iraq in syria here is the same approach as u.s. security approach of bombing and killing and then the organization is spread all

over the region starting from central asia to yemen to libya to several other places and i can see it as well so what is this going to happen since again we're talking about the same ideas are still there it's likely looking at historical perspective that we in the seeing a new version of terrorism that could be all saw more dangerous than isis because isis also became more dangerous than al-qaeda the previous version of terrorism so . to see these members are now moving from central asia to the middle east including yemen and libya i see it on iraq then we could again looking at history in the with another possibly more dangerous organization ok briefly please ibrahim do you understand then when nancy pelosi the 2nd point in her statement that we've just heard in the past what 15 minutes or so when she says look we need to know. what the president's overall strategy is because on the one

hand he's going public with a very detailed news conference on how we got baghdad on the other hand he's thanking the kurds and then on the other hand still the kurds a kind of on their own no. i honestly don't think the president has a strategy what he is doing is the approach that was used before there is nothing new in it there is no innovation that is nor idea of how to deal with terrorism as and dangerous phenomena he's just repeating what was done in the past and that is all too was producing a more dangerous organization and he has the again we're talking about withdrawing from syria but then going back and conducting this kind of operation thinking the russians who are not very big fans of what he's doing and also think of the chords that he just was seen by the by the whole world has betrayed them and his alliances with them and he's now we're going back and thanking them so we see

a confusion all over the players of what this president is doing just the not following a specific or a sifting logic in dealing with terrorism. thank you very much thank you. still to come for you here on al-jazeera another sunday confrontation in hong kong protesters rally against what they say is police brutality. however we've got some rain in the forecast for the middle east over the next couple days chiefly across northern parts of the region we're seeing a few showers sliding across the levant israel jordan seeing wanted to showers showers pushing across the central southern parts of iraq into iran around 15 to 20 millimeters of rain in one of 2 spots enough to cause some localized flooding

i'm back with the news hour after that i'll see you then about 5. the end of one of the world's biggest manhunts donald trump says the leader of i still blew himself up during a raid by u.s. special forces what does advocate in baghdad these death mean for the internationally designated terrorist group and is his dream of a self-proclaimed caliphate finally over this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program has him seek him he was one of the world's most wanted men a prized target for years the u.s. president says will back in baghdad the leader of one of the most feared on groups eisel has been hunted down in northwest syria donald trump says he killed himself with explosives during a raid by u.s. special forces about that he once ruled an area in syria and iraq the size of the united kingdom under his watch the islamist state of iraq in the event became one of the most brutal armed groups in modern history carrying out mass killings beheadings and write campaigns here's what u.s. president told trump had to say last night the united states brought the world's number one terrorist leader to justice abu a car i'll bet daddy is dead he was the founder and leader of isis the most ruthless and violent target is ation anywhere in the world. the united states has been searching for big daddy for many years capturing or

killing baghdad he has been the top national security priority of my administration u.s. special operations forces executed a dangerous and daring nighttime raid in northwestern syria and accomplished their mission in grand style the u.s. personnel were incredible i got to watch much of it he died after running into a dead end tunnel whimpering and crying and screaming all the way the compound had been cleared by this time with people either surrendering or being shot and killed 11 young children were moved out of the house and are uninjured he reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down

he ignited his vest killing himself and the 3 children his body was mutilated by the blast the tunnel had caved in on it in addition but test results gave certain immediate and totally positive identification it was him then a honda has more now on how bad that he became isolated. it was july 2014 when the world got a glimpse of the man best known as abu bakar a bucket that he an iraqi whose real name is abraham a wide ibrahim. he walked out of the shadows to declare in islam it stayed in iraq and the levant from the great mosque in the iraqi city of mosul he led friday prayers after naming himself caliph or religious leader it was a show of power by an armed group which took over much of iraq's sunni heartland

after the iraqi army all but collapsed 5 years later it was back daddy's state that collapsed eisel once controlled $88000.00 square kilometers of territory stretching from western syria to eastern iraq it lost its last stronghold in syria in march this year weeks after back that he made his 1st appearance in 5 years putting to rest many unconfirmed reports of his death in a video the ice a leader wanted to show he was still in charge and along with his group survived the territorial defeat back that he was behind the group's creation an expansion eisel originated in al qaida in iraq back then he became its leader in 2010 he then capitalized on the unrest in neighboring syria exploiting the security vacuum it started to capture territory and changed its name to islamic state in iraq and the levant before falling out with leader ayman al-zawahiri. now challenges al

qaida not only in syria and iraq but for the leadership of what it calls the global jihad this struggle back that he was once a prisoner in a u.s. run jail in iraq he is believed to have been born near the iraqi city of samarra in 1981 and said to have a ph d. and islamic studies from an iraqi university giving him religious credentials it isn't known what role baghdadi played in recruiting arab and foreign fighters or the. orchestrating attacks abroad there have been questions about his grip on power and reports of dissent within the group's leadership but the man who declared himself caliph the would be successor of the prophet managed to elude death and capture for years and even though i saw a state in syria and iraq crumbled under his rule the group's goals are not defined by borders or one man its appeal comes from harnessing the grievances of suddenly muslims in iraq syria and across the world sen.

all right well let's introduce our pound out of talk more about this here in doha we have andrea's cregan assistant professor at the defense studies department king's college london joining us from a deal in the couldst on region of iraq is here what's mine who is an iraqi political analyst and via skype from lose in the u.s. state of delaware lawrence korb a former u.s. assistant secretary of defense welcome all of you so let me let me start with you then how significant is this in terms of the fight the larger fight against isis i think it is mostly of symbolic importance here for specially for the organization and i've said for years that this organization has become somewhat of a virtual caliphate it's become a franchise that other groups can buy into and then basically sell around the world and it was not a it was a callous cyber caliphate if you will without

a caliph and i think killing these so-called self-proclaimed today doesn't really make any difference in that because the different groups that have existed and continue to exist after the collapse of the physical caliphate will continue and are continuing to fight anyway in the underground in syria in iraq but also in afghanistan in the in sub-saharan africa and elsewhere so this this title of being isis is up for grabs and it's a virtual community that is very much leaderless and has been leaderless. who are smart what's your view on this does does the killing of one leader one man matter and in the 3rd the larger scheme of things. well look at their track record the track record of these radical groups these terrorist groups the winds of power we for example was killed the group was very quick to appoint another person to be in charge when osama bin laden was killed the group there was also very quick to

appoint someone else in charge in his place i think we will hear the same thing from from isis that they will appoint somebody else it deals a major blow to their organization i think but it will not affect the status of it is of the cyber kind of fate as. as the guest in doha described i think he's accurate it is become a franchise people subscribe to it and they they carry conduct attacks and they carry out activities in the name of that terror group specially now in iraq and in syria mostly with the. with the presence of turkish troops inside northeast syria the area that was controlled by the as the f. staunch enemy of isis we saw how the turkish troops came in with their city and proxies who were very much similar to to the isis to members of isis so

the ecosystem i think is now there after the end of the guy and so-called victory in this area is i think too far for isis to reemerge again or for another leader or for isis to continue whatever it was trying to do in the past i think the killing of a baghdadi is killing of one man defeating isis doesn't happen by killing the leader only it happens by by changing the ecosystem for or for that kind of terror group and with the presence of the turkish army in this area as we saw when he was very close to the takers borders from. what we are hearing the american officials and the extra the president did not even tell turkey so the defeats of of the as the f. or taking out the initiative from the hands of the as the f. in the war against isis will create a much better circumstances for that's group to to be

a mess and to flourish once again according to what the what we've been hearing from their websites and from their literature so let's get a view from the united states then and lawrence korb it was president trump who announced this from the white house and comparisons will inevitably be drawn with the announcement of the killing of osama bin laden by his predecessor president obama or a few years ago and this will be seen at least in the short term as as kind of a a win for president trump given the deed the challenges that he's facing domestically but beyond that what's what effect does it have well i think it is as you point out a big win for president trump because not only did he get the lead your own vices which will be one some of the criticisms he's gotten war on withdrawing from syria are not supporting the syrian democratic forces the other is that he worked with

the turks the syrian democratic forces the russians and the iraqis on this so this helps his image of somebody who you know we're working on together. i agree with the all the good it just has got may have some problems but in the long term unless you undermine the idiology of these groups and what they're trying to accomplish you're not going to do eliminate the threat we had already destroyed the comic they basically had gone underground and i think they will still try and plot and tax wherever that they feel that they can whether it's in the middle east or in europe or even in the united states and as we saw after we got that a lot and there was a temporary lull but it came back and look at all of the taliban leaders we've killed in afghanistan but you know we still haven't eliminated the well what about the security implications of this law is called in terms of a hit of the loss of

a bet that he is a leader. what tactically does it do for i so in terms of his his connections his net was and and so on will have much effect in that respect. well in the short term it will be because i think a lot of people who might be attracted to them are going to say will do they have intelligence so i'm asked will lead be able to call you know after us because even though the united states is taking its ground troops out of syria is still going to have its air troops and you know we've been bombing several of the facilities are in that part of the art northwestern northeast of syria where we thought that they may have headquarters of these various groups so i think it'll get them to go underground for a while until they can see what the situation it is in in in syria and the other

thing i think it is important keep in mind the iraqis played a big role in the midst and they're still grateful for the fact that we came in and helped them after they lost mosul they are the ones who provided the intelligence that they got it was actually hiding in an area that was are controlled by our last rule which had been an enemy of our vices and he's let me let me turn back to you on this what do you what were the what was a so difficult to to to catch him for so long because there had been reports in the past that he had died in various attacks and those turned out not to be true why why had he eluded. u.s. forces and others for so long well when he's actually this assess 5th death death actually if you look at all the proclamation that have been made over the years but you know the thing with him is he has not been sedentary for the entire time of the caliphate so even early on in 2014 when they had a physical space that they that they governed baghdad he wasn't someone who lived

in a particular house and stay there because he knew how very dangerous it would be a considering that obviously isis didn't really have an air force and the air power supply your team was with the entire world alliance against him so you know it was constantly moving any has been constantly moving so that he was no. found it lip after all doesn't really say it was in it for a longer period of time and live is widely an ungoverned space neither the turks nor the regime nor the assad or the h.g.'s nobody really controls that area and he was freely able to freely move around most people thought he would still be in iraq but obviously despite the fact that the border was somewhere between iraq and there was somewhat rebuild you know people are moving it's a transnational space where people move from east to west and he was constantly moving around so it was very difficult to pin him down because he had a very low profile i think trumps announcement to say that they captured quite a lot of interesting material relevant material is probably falls because i don't think he had quite a lot of stuff with amy he must have travelled very lightly and very flexibly here

are small let me turn back to you. this i mean a lot of people have made mention of the fact. that the conditions that led to the rise of i saw haven't been addressed and that's something that really. needs needs further attention what's your view on that. yes indeed them and since the when and when isis came or controlled all these large areas there was a sick to be had situation in iraqi in iraq as a whole the areas that were predominantly sunni we're controlled by the probe by a sectarian shiite army longing to them prime minister and proxies of iran at the time and still now after the liberation of these areas they are controlled by elements of hush the shabby or the popular mobilization force that are known to be proxies of iran operating inside iraq and

a lot of the areas that are still that are freed from isis are not being controlled they still haven't seen development they still haven't seen reconstruction many areas that were destroyed that they haven't been rebuilt yet they the people are lousy an employed the large sunni population that's in these areas is still very much on the margins so even in terms of political representation there are so many issues which we are seeing now the uprising of the people in the center in the south of iraq. the sunni people of iraq are not rising for now because they have been accused in the past of belonging to isis or the by 3 g. or whatever or the baath party or other reasons by the by the government but now i think with the protests and the. the protests in baghdad and the south of iraq eventually the trouble could reach these areas and. they they

could it could be pave the ground for reimagines of isis or isis 2.0 or 2 or 3.0 now on the syrian side of things there yes to the that isis was very much in control of where being. ford they were being fought in these areas by the as the f. now with the american withdrawal from these areas with empowering the guy who is largely seen both in iraq and in syria as the patron of isis they say i says was largely seen as the military wing of the a.k.p. the guys party in turkey 40000 fighters according to brett mccurry who was in charge of the war against isis in iraq and in syria said that they had come to isis areas to syria from turkey now with turkey in charge of the borders again with this as the of being away from their borders we could see

a similar scenario of isis of the grounds are there for isis or isis to point or whatever else for for them to reemerge in the areas that they were. cleared of in the past with the coalition and there's the f so this issue is that the conditions are now i think back to to where we started in the case lawrence korb what's your view on that what are the implications far i saw of turkey moving into these areas in northern syria now. well as has just been pointed out i think this is a good war i still because the turks all they're concerned about is the kurds they think that anybody who's a kurd regardless of whether they're part of the p.k. k. or not is a sworn enemy which is why they're trying to you know create the a zone on the border with syria the turks also want to send back all of the

not just the syrians who emigrated there many of them could end up joining a joining on isis because of their on happiness with what happened in turkey and what was happening in in syria so i think in the long term the turkish role there is going to be quite helpful lot to isis and less air to wind completely changes his view or we have a new election in turkey so i think that we need to keep that in mind and not think that just because we got that got a we can leave the area and we don't have to worry about isis anymore. and there is a lot of a lot of details about this raid that we don't know about at this time but i want to ask you because for 4 days the u.s. u.s. officials on the ground in fear that i saw would try to to capitalize on the up people in syria and the announcement of the withdrawal of u.s.

forces and but in that respect they saw a potential opportunity in which isolators would sort of come out. from there from their secretive routines and their and their tunnels and so on to communicate with each other and that that may have created the opportunity for u.s. forces to locate and baghdadi and launch this attack you think there's some truth to that yes i mean we we saw a lot more activity going on even before the announcement of that raid last night i mean we saw that people were communicating there was a lot on twitter about new activities of people in their own obviously they have their own bubbles and echo chambers where they speak which as of which are mostly not public obviously and you know it was and out of it was something that they wanted to exploit and i do think that despite all this i think isis will exploit this very event as well particular narrative now is that he was blowing himself up

with a kind of a vein in capture and then and died as a martyr i think that will kind of reinforce the martyrdom narrative that isis has been so this could be a recruiting tool they would probably try to make it a recruiting tool and i think it's very important all trump in his speech was making a big daddy look quite weak almost like a wimp who was crying rather than someone who died a martyr's hero's death and i think it's very important i think the ice is out that's what obviously presented the other way around that he died a hero's death so i think it's very important that this doesn't become a narrative campaign because also for the trying to straighten this is a narrative campaign because trump is going run for reelection and i think that might be just his most important foreign policy achievement if you will in the region and he will capitalize on that and the 35 percent or so who are die hard trump fans will probably cheer for it and say look what he's done he actually he actually single handedly brought us to an end. here are small and speaking speaking of narrative a lot of governments in the west will be will be glad to hear this news of the isis

leader has has been killed but it's important to point out isn't it that it's people in the region arabs and muslims have been who've been bearing the brunt of what i saw has wrought for years now. well certainly people in the region especially the victims of faces and there are many of them in the end in syria and in iraq especially they will be very glad to receive the news because this man is responsible for all the misery for all the suffering that he created for for the people but again at the same time people especially in syria and in iraq are very worried that from might yet again change again change his mind with a tweet and change his policy and abandon the area totally and allow for another isis to to to emerge and then they will they will be back with a vengeance the iraqi state has proven now to be extremely weak they are unable to

do to get through to overcome the difficulties that any. that they have been facing since 2003 be arena rejean is now helping the iraqi government to crush the protests in the south so it's a we have a very weak state in iraq and at the same and they're weak governments and we have a very fragile situation in syria with with really very and quite unknown variables in the under situations especially in the areas that i so was. was controlling as it's as as part of its caliphate now with turkey's role being there on the ground as the guest in d.c. said turkey really cares about more about the kurds than eisel so they are the they consider the kurds as their enemy not not isis and with the kurds today not being

able to fight isis as before should the reimagined i think the prospects does doesn't look very very well for 4 people of the ground. one final question then 2 to lois corbin briefly at the president trumpet as as talked about what he calls endless wars in the middle east. will he look at this as as job done now. very definitely just like in 2012. president obama campaigned on bin ladin. no doubt about it and in the short term this is a big win for him because most americans don't want to be involved they're very upset going back to the iraq the iraq war so no this is going that's why he spent so much time on a sunday morning very rare that a president speaks you know on a sunday morning to the nation and questions after 2 all right we're going to have

u.s. president donald trump has announced that the founder and leader of ice. tea was killed during an overnight raid led by american military forces in syria the raid took place in the province of italy where mr trump says back that he was cornered in a tunnel when he blew himself up and quote died like a dog bite that his body was properly identified just minutes after he was killed 8 helicopters were used in the mission and there were no injuries among the u.s. forces involved now these exclusive pictures show the aftermath of that strike with the mission took place mr trump thanked kurdish forces russia syria turkey and iraq for intelligence the proved helpful to the raid is called the killing of baghdad a great night for the united states and the world is what mr trump

a to say last night the united states brought the world's number one terrorist leader to justice abu a car al baghdadi is dead he was the founder and leader of isis the most ruthless and violent target ization anywhere in the world. the united states has been searching for baghdadi for many years capturing or killing baghdad he has been the top national security priority of my administration u.s. special operations forces executed a dangerous and daring nighttime raid in northwestern syria and accomplished their mission in grand style the u.s. personnel were incredible i got to watch much of it

no personnel were lost in the operation while a large number of baghdad these fighters and companions were killed with him he died after running into a dead end tunnel and he had dragged 3 of his young children with him they were led to certain death he reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down he ignited his vest killing himself and the 3 children. well in just a few moments we'll be joined by osama bin. laden the turkey syria border for us 1st let's cross live to washington and my colleague pensacola pain patsy want to read a statement from the u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi came after the announcement of the death about baghdadi she says the house must be briefed on this raid which the russians but not top

congressional leadership would know to fight off in advance and on the administration's overall strategy in the region a military analyst is a strong smart and strategic leadership from washington do we know or can we predict what the white house reaction to that might be maybe mr trump might say well hang on it's leaks aplenty he had these days and i had to make sure it was safe. well he might try to say that but that's not usually the case again this is another norm broken by this president whenever there's a national security activity such as this what past presidents have always done is they notify the leaders in congress sometimes expanded its what is called the group of 8 those are the 8 top leaders in the intelligence community within congress the intelligence committees he's the president said in his very lengthy press conference he didn't do that because he didn't want them to leak now congress does leak like a sieve most days but we're talking about the gang of 8 these are people with top secret clearance they had no or they're supposed to know all the nation's biggest

secrets it is highly unusual that the president president or someone in his team didn't give them a heads up even after it happened much less before so this isn't going to sit well with the speaker of the house you know just a few weeks ago the president was insulting her she got up there was that photo of her waving her finger at the president and she says what she said to him was all roads with you would lead back to putin so this is going to be a sore spot for but the broader point is that members of congress on both sides of the aisle both democrats republicans are really frustrated with this president because if he pulled those troops out of northern syria bringing on this conflict between turkey and the kurds they feel that he has a bad in longtime allies there's moves in congress to say turkey over it and the house already passed one sanction base a resolution saying the president made a mistake a lot of republicans voted for that the senate expected to take that up as well mitch mcconnell though say the house resolution isn't strong enough where can she

go with this patsy and can she run the risk of being seen to try to make political capital out of it. no i think what the democrats have all come out and said this is a good thing from the perspective of the united states but they want to bring it back to the broader issue which the president likes to say that i saw has been defeated and even the pentagon says no there's tens of thousands of fighters just in that region that are still loyal to eisele so you know it's not as if she's coming out and saying it's not a big deal she's saying congratulations to the armed forces but at the same time we need a broader strategy so no i think there's very little risk in the spac fire in her on her part of the reason is the president really wanted to relish in this moment he came out and he said the killing of baghdadi is bigger than the killing of bin laden every single american knew the name of some of the after the 911 attacks i would guess maybe half maybe ever kids would know about daddy or his name or what happened to the president's trying to make this seem like

a very big moment for him thanks very much. al-jazeera correspondent jeanne you surf was one of the 1st journalists to reach the scene of the operation at the moment to get this is the house targeted by u.s. helicopters and they approached the site at midnight and sealed the arrear off before they stormed it one person was taken away others were killed in a car passing through was destroyed and u.s. forces also handed over 3 children to one of the neighbors and requested they take them far away and then come back after the operation was completed 7 dead bodies have been recovered so far this home was then bombed by u.s. helicopters accompanied by a recon plane in a plane at this house to see to it belong to. other people we were told by an eyewitness he bought the house 2 years ago the owner of this house was not the target the target was abu bakr daddy as you can see the house is totally destroyed leveled to the ground the operation lasted for hours. so a binge of a joins us live from ray handley on the turkey syria border. the pentagon saying

this operation was flawless from your vantage point was it that efficient was it that well put together. but so far what we know about this operation is a 1st hand account from and to go on officials as well as the u.s. president and they seem to think that it was a very successful operation and indeed they have taken out one of their most wanted targets i would like a little bit about the according to the u.s. president is now dead this was the prize target they were going after this was someone who had been on the on the hunt list so to speak off not just united states but all of the country 60 plus countries trying to find the and he's found in not western syria an area which has been regularly bombed by syrian government as well as its russian allies it has it has had close encounters with russia with turkish patrols and turkish backed forces events so again u.s. forces coming in and obviously they see it as

a major victory to their advantage. but what comes next is the major question has eisen been defeated is the ideology or are the underlying conditions with which i said was able to recruit in iraq and syria are the major questions that many people are asking iceland which used to control territory all the way from iraq and syria the size of great britain which almost 10000000 people living under it has is no more it does not control any territory but the conditions do persist the persecution of people the lack of opportunities the joblessness the poverty the disenfranchisement all of those factors remain on the ground what else what the other thing that we heard from the president was how he thanked and the order in which he thanked his people who and countries who helped him carry out this operation the hand he thanked the russians the syrians the iraqis the turks and then in the end the kurdish fighters so it is a very interesting way in which he thanked all of them these are people who are fighting on the opposing sides of the war in syria something that trump has almost

washed his hands off and he's saying that he does not want to be on the border between syria and turkey it wants these 2 countries to solve these differences and he says it's an opportunity that he moved the u.s. forces from this area and brought his troops home albeit u.s. forces have again in the last 24 hours gone back inside in syria in force securing on the eastern front or oil facilities some of thank you so you know how to report on how. rose to become leader of the world's most feared group it was july 2014 when the world got a glimpse of the man best known as abu bakar back a daddy and iraqi whose real name is abraham a wide ibrahim. he walked out of the shadows to declare an islam extended in iraq and the levant from the great mosque in the iraqi city of mosul he led friday prayers after naming himself caliph or religious leader it was

a show of power by an armed group which took over much of iraq's sunni heartland after the iraqi army all but collapsed 5 years later it was back daddy's state that collapsed eisel once controlled 88000 square kilometers of territory stretching from western syria to eastern iraq it lost its last stronghold in syria in march this year weeks after back that he made his 1st appearance in 5 years putting to rest many unconfirmed reports of his death in a video the ice a leader wanted to show he was still in charge and along with his group survived the territorial defeat back that he was behind the group's creation an expansion eisel originated in al qaida in iraq back then he became its leader in 2010 he then capitalized on the unrest in neighboring syria exploiting the security vacuum it started to capture territory.
