Radio Iran: Islamic State’s caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead of injuries from airstrike Pentagon denies hit him

Apr 27, 2015 12:40 pm By Robert Spencer

Abu Bakr al-BaghdadiNow al-Baghdadi is supposed to have been killed in the airstrike that the Pentagon denies even injured him. This is very strange: it would be a major success for the airstrikes if al-Baghdadi were wounded or killed in one, so why the denial if it happened? And if it didn’t happen, where are these stories of his injury and death coming from?

“ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead says Radio Iran,” IndiaToday, April 27, 2015 (thanks to RF):

ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has according to Radio Iran died after suffering serious injuries in an air strike in western Iraq.

Media reports on April 21 said Baghdadi suffered life-threatening injuries during the attack by the US-led coalition in March.

Baghdadi’s injuries led to urgent meetings of Islamic State leaders, who initially believed he would die and made plans to name a new leader, said media reports.

In October 2011, the US State Department had listed Baghdadi as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and announced a reward of up to USD 10 million for information leading to his capture or death.

Baghdadi, who is known to his supporters as Amir al-Mu’minin or Caliph Ibrahim, lead the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) an Islamic extremist group in western Iraq, Libya, northeast Nigeria and Syria self-styled as the ‘Islamic State’.

    “died after suffering”

    If it’s true, I hope he suffered a lot.

      It most likely is true. Iran essentially runs Iraq. They know every inch of that country and believe it or not after CIA and the Mossad thay have the best intelligence gathering orgs. in the world. M

        It could be just Iranian propaganda in order to ”spread corruption” among the jihadists from Isis and their supporters. The regime could be behind the media reports as well.
        They are very clever people. Isis has made them stronger. It looks like they don’t need these kind of soldiers of Allah any longer.

    It all comes back to this: Bukhari (52:269) – “The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.'”

    We are all in a triple deception dilema if you think about out; we’re being lied to by three sources.

    The Islamic state lies because they’re moslems.
    Iran lies because they’re moslems.
    The Pentagon lies because the Commander in Chief is… you guessed it.

    Ahlul Bayt News Agency – According to two Iraqi news agencies, Alghad Press and Al-Youm Al-Thamen (the 8th Day), as well as sources in the Iraqi city of Mosul, Baghdadi died in an Israeli hospital in the occupied Golan Heights where he had been hospitalized for treatment after sustaining severe injuries during a joint attack of the Iraqi army and popular forces.

    The sources added that al-Baghdadi has been declared by his Israeli physicians and surgens as to be now “clinically dead”.

    It’s not news unless you’re libeling the Joos!

    I don’t believe it. Invoking 24-day rule. The history of jihadis being reported dead shows the reports are usually wrong.

      I don’t believe it either. The Pentagon would have every reason to announce this.

    When the Caliph dies, I assume the Vice-Caliph will be sworn in. That would be Jihad Biden.

      I thought, for a moment, that more probably he would be sworn at rather than in.

    It is really very scary that we can not trust our government for information about our sworn enemy. Think about it. We are doomed.

    The response was most probably delayed to allow Barry Hussein a suitable mourning period…
