The Pentagon released video and photos on Wednesday of the US special forces raid that resulted in the death of ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Among the images released by the Defense Department was grainy black-and-white footage of US troops approaching on foot the high-walled compound in northwestern Syria where Baghdadi was holed-up. Before and after pictures of the isolated compound were also released.

The body of ISIS-chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was buried at sea by the US-military after he killed himself during the weekend raid on his Syrian-hideout, a Pentagon source told. No details were given on where or when the body was disposed of, but it paralleled the 2011 sea burial of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden after he was killed in US-special-forces raid in Pakistan.

Ahead of the ninth India-US Defence Technologies and Trade Initiative or DTTI group meeting in New Delhi next week, the Pentagon said the bilateral defence trade between the two countries is expected to reach $18-billion by year end. Undersecretary Of Defense For Acquisition And Sustainment Ellen M Lord said US is committed to strengthen its partnership with India while furthering military-to-military relationships and cooperation.
