UPDATED: Washington Post changes obituary to make Baghdadi ‘austere religious scholar’ instead of ‘terrorist-in-chief’

The Washington Post changed the headline of its obituary of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi from “terrorist-in-chief” to describe him as an “austere religious scholar.”

U.S. forces killed Baghdadi Saturday after a successful raid on a compound in northern Syria.

While many celebrated the death of the serial rapist and murderer, the Washington Post left many confused by giving him the title of “austere religious scholar at the helm of the Islamic State.”
