FULL TITLE: Family of al-Baghdadi victim responds to his death following harrowing raid: 'Grateful to our president'
Diane Foley, whose son James was beheaded at the behest of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, released a statement Sunday saying she is "grateful" to President Trump and the "brave troops" who carried out the raid against him.
Al-Baghdadi, who took over as the head of ISIS after his predecessor Abu Omar al-Baghdadi was killed in 2010, detonated a suicide vest as U.S. special forces closed in. Troops were sent to attack a compound in northern Syria where al-Baghdadi was located, according to a U.S. defense official. No U.S. Special Operations forces were harmed or killed during the mission, and Trump claimed the operation had been in the works for several weeks.
Foley shared her statement on the "James Foley Foundation" Twitter account and said she hopes the operation will help cripple ISIS and other terror groups around the world.
"I am grateful to our President and brave troops for finding ISIS leader Al-Bagdadi. I hope this will hinder the resurgence of terror groups and pray that captured ISIS fighters will be brought to trial and held accountable," she tweeted.

Democrats are in mourning.
Yeh the Dems are probably flying the commie flag at half mast.
I keep hearing how the US military is washed up here...ya know, how the chinese and russians and even the iranians in some scenarios could whip us.
Yet I almost NEVER read where a special ops scenario went down and none of the soldiers died, in any other country.
And actually, besides Israel, they seem to #### things up pretty badly and get a ton of innocents killed sometimes.
So yeah I’m good with the American military, thanks.
If this were the 1980s the raid would be turned into a movie staring Chuck Norris, now we will have a biopic about Baghdadi being a freedom fighter.
Have we heard from Kayla Mueller’s family? This fiend reportedly raped and tortured her.
Remember what Obama did immediately after condemning the murder of James Foley? He went golfing.
If I remember her parent(s) mafe excuuses of sorts for the scum isis
They re probably pissed @ Trump
Have i said I love this President today?? Well, i do!!!
Yes, her parents thanked President Trump and are big supporters of our President, too.
You are correct. I see the story at CNN. The operation was named for Kayla.
lol
Badhdadi was an “austere religious scholar” according to the Washington Post.
And apparently the operation was code-named “Kayla Mueller”

* Except Israel.
It proves a great portion of people celebrated Americans massacred on 9/11. F*ck them all!!!!!
Because many of them are playing for the other side.
Thank you to our magnificent military! God bless you President Trump for doing all that you do for our country!
I did my 20 years, and my son is in USAF pilot training as we speak. 😁👍
That’s awesome man! :)
Like Mike Tyson said “everyone’s got a plan until they get hit”
Because I know absolutely EVERYTHING that the US military has up its sleeve.
God only knows what we’ve got and its capabilities.
