So al-Baghdadi died? Really? [View all]

Sorry if this has already been brought up, but given the last few months and the news since yesterday, do we really know for a fact that it was he who died in the explosion?

All it takes is watching a few action movies or a few episodes of NCIS or a similar show to ask a few questions:

The guy was known to be slippery. Could someone else have disguised himself to lead the troops away from the real al-Baghdadi?

He was blown up. How do we know it was him? Are they going to do DNA tests, and will we know the results?

A top aide of the guy gave away some information on his whereabouts. Was he truthful, or was he part of a plan?

The timing, and T's comm with Moscow ahead of letting Congress know, seems suspicious given the impeachment activities.

And so on, but you get the idea.
