The body of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was buried at sea by the US military after he was killed during the weekend raid on his Syrian hideout
His body was taken from the site for identification, and disposed of after biometrics and DNA tests confirmed it was Baghdadi, according to media reports.
Details were not given on where or when the body was buried, but it was similar to the 2011 sea burial of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden after he was killed in a US raid in Pakistan.
"The disposal of his remains has been done, is complete and was handled appropriately," said General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Milley said the burial took place based on standard US military procedures and in accordance with the law of armed conflict. (ILKHA)
