A United States military raid prompted ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to commit suicide in October 2019.

During his last years of life, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi rose to prominence as the leader of ISIS. He enslaved thousands of people and took over an area the size of Great Britain. But in February 2018, intelligence officials got a break that led to the discovery of his compound in Syria.

A force of US Army Rangers and Delta Force operators attacked the compound on October 27, 2019.
