An informant, whose name or nationality was not released, helped U.S. forces to conduct a raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, reported the Washington Post, citing unnamed U.S.- and Middle East-based officials.
The ISIS defector reportedly provided U.S. intelligence operatives with information that was critical to the success of the raid and is expected to receive part of the “$25 million U.S. bounty that had been placed on Baghdadi’s head,” the officials said, according to the Post.
