The Islamic State group has confirmed the death of its former leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,... while announcing its new leader as Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi.
The news came Thursday in an audio message released by the terror group.
"Oh Muslims, the Mujahideen in the name of God, the soldiers of the Islamic State and its congregation, we give you condolences over the renewing imam, the knowledgeable, the worker, the worshiper, the Emir of the Believers and the Caliph of the Muslims, the Mujahid Sheikh Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Ibrahim Ibn Awwad Al-Badri Al-Husayni a-Qurashi, may God accept him."
The message was recorded by the group's new spokesman Abu Hamza al-Qarshi.
He replaces Abu Hasan al-Muhjir,... who was also killed by U.S. forces in northern Syria.
The new spokesman also sent a warning to the U.S. saying ISIS is still expanding worldwide, and said the group will seek revenge.
"Do not rejoice America, over the death of Sheikh al-Baghdadi, and do not forget the cups of death at his hands. Do you not realise America, that the Islamic State today stands at the threshold of Europe and Central Africa? "
Meanwhile, the Pentagon released video and images of the al-Baghdadi raid on Wednesday.
U.S. forces can be seen taking small arms fire from several locations,... as their helicopters approached al-Baghdadi's safe house.

Hiding out for the last five years,... al-Baghdadi's death marks the end of a long search to take out the world's most wanted terrorist.
