The US President Donald trump said that “blundered newspaper the New York Times broke a US attempt” to kill the leader of the terrorist organization “Islamic state” (banned in Russia) al-Baghdadi. This was written by the us leader in his Twitter.
What the publication refers to trump, did not elaborate.
As the journalist wrote in his Twitter Politico, The New York Times asked the White house to clarify what the student mentions the President in his post.
On Friday, July 21, the newspaper published the statement of the Minister of defense of Jim Mattis, in which he said that al-Baghdadi, in his opinion, is still alive. He also said that the international coalition is still looking for the leader of the IG.
“I think that Baghdadi is alive. I believe that otherwise, we would’ve known if you would have killed him. We are pursuing it,” — said the head of the Pentagon. “Until then, until we have evidence, we will not speculate on the fact that he was killed”, — quotes its words Reuters.
