Raid in northern Idlib's Bashira
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights activist group, a squadron of eight helicopters accompanied by a warplane belonging to the international coalition fighting Islamic State (IS) attacked positions of an al-Qaeda affiliated group in Syria's Idlib province where IS operatives were believed to be hiding.
Newsweek said it had been told by a US army official that Baghdadi, 48, had killed himself by detonating a suicide vest.
It said a brief firefight ensued when US forces entered Baghdadi's compound near Barisha village, some 5km from the Turkish border, and Baghdadi's family members were present.
Citing Pentagon sources, Newsweek said no children were harmed but two of Baghdadi's wives were killed after detonating their own explosive vests.
Below are some of the first images to emerge from Bashira:
