He seems to have been killed, okay. Whether it really was like little Cesar said, is left open for believing or not believing, he says a lot on a day, and by now one should know what to make of his theatralic phrasing. On Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, it is a symbolic and moral victory in thje fight against the IS, not more. When somebody already lambasted that the IS now is defeated by this kill, that somebody simply is wrong. Its a symbolic, a moral scoring - not more. The danger by the IS is not affected by this, nor is it militarily relevant. For what it is: congrats! Some people in the intel and military did a good job.
