Why ISIS leader and founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's remains were buried at sea

The remains of ISIS leader and founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi were disposed at sea after he died during the U.S. military raid that targeted his compound in northwest Syria over the weekend, a U.S. official confirmed Monday.

Authorities would not reveal details about which U.S. Navy ship was used for the burial or in which body of water it took place, but they told ABC News that the procedure was similar to the one used to dispose of the remains of al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.

In Islam, people are typically buried in the ground, without a casket, before the next of five daily prayer periods have taken place. But with al-Baghdadi, the U.S. government apparently decided it was risky to have a known grave, lest it become a shrine to the world's best-known terrorist.

A cousin of my dad’s joined the war late and arrived just before the Battle of the Bulge. He thought it was crazy how the other guys would give him their pork and bean or ham rations.

Once he got out into the fighting he realized why - the pigs would be eating the dead Germans laying along the sides of the roads.
