President Trump is expected to deliver a statement from the White House at 9 a.m. after a Saturday night tweet hinting at a significant announcement.
A U.S. official told The Associated Press late Saturday that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was targeted in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province. The official said confirmation that the IS chief was killed in an explosion is pending.
A White House spokesman would say only that the president would be making a “major statement.” No other details were available.
