“‘The location of the meeting was also bombed, and many of the group’s leaders were killed and wounded. The fate of murderer al-Baghdadi is unknown, and he was carried away by a vehicle. His health condition is still unclear,’ the military said.” Baghdadi has been wounded and killed before. Radio Iran reported that he was dead last April. And he was severely injured and incapacitated in July 2014. Amid all these wild and unreliable reports, the Islamic State keeps advancing.
“Islamic State figures killed in airstrike; Baghdadi not believed among them,” Reuters, October 11, 2015:
BAGHDAD (Reuters) — Eight senior figures from the Islamic State were killed in an airstrike while meeting in a town in western Iraq, but the group’s reclusive leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, did not appear to be among them, residents of the town and hospital sources said.
Iraq said Sunday its air force had hit the meeting and also struck a convoy that was carrying Baghdadi to attend it. Iraq said Baghdadi had been driven away from the convoy in an unknown condition.
The Iraqi military’s announcement was the latest unconfirmed report of the possible death or injury of Baghdadi, who has survived a year of U.S.-led airstrikes and multi-sided wars in two countries since proclaiming himself caliph of all Muslims after his forces swept through most of northern Iraq last year.
A Twitter site that publishes statements from Islamic State said “rumors” that an airstrike had targeted Baghdadi were false….
“Iraqi air forces have bombed the convoy of the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while he was heading to Karabla to attend a meeting with Daesh commanders,” the Iraqi military said in a statement.
Daesh is the Arabic acronym for Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. Karabla is a town in Iraq’s Anbar province near the Syrian border, an Islamic State stronghold, not to be confused with Kerbala, a Shi’ite holy city in the south.
“The location of the meeting was also bombed, and many of the group’s leaders were killed and wounded. The fate of murderer al-Baghdadi is unknown, and he was carried away by a vehicle. His health condition is still unclear,” the military said….

Caliph Ibrahim is ok? Good. Having him get it would be like Elon Musk being electrocuted in one of his “green” cars that gets its juice from a coal plant.

Moronic comment. Well done.

I try my best.

What if “Baghdadi” is part of the title? There’s not one caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi but a series of individuals who take the name once their predecessor kicks the bucket or buys the farm?
Lawrence says
Yeah like the Dread Pirate Roberts, at least that’s what springs to my mind!
Angemon says
I came very close to simply write “What if Caliph Ibrahim is like the Dread Pirate Roberts?”, but I didn’t know how many would get that reference 🙂 . Plus, Caliphs don’t retire, they stay in power until they die and they can pry their position from their cold, dead hands. They’re like like local politicians on that regard.

The leader of this rogue state Rapes And Murders an American citizen and what Does The Administration Do ! They go through the same Routine ,like the President likes to Remind American Citizens about shootings; then they did nothing about it ! Is Al Baghdadi less dangerous than Saddam or Ben Ladden ? No ! He’s more committed to the Caliphate than they were so he gets Special Privileges . Kind of like the Afghan Commanders and Police who Rape Young Boys ! It’s just part of their culture and ideology , SO LOOK THE OTHER WAY !
mortimer says
Caliph al-Baghdadi represents TRUE Islam. He is one of the best educated Islamic scholars in the word and a true believer. Al Azhar University has virtually no complaints to make about al-Baghdadi’s theology because his theology is scrupulously Islamic.
dsinc says
Of course, this has got nothing to do with Islam.

Obama’s appearance at Al Azhar was a knife to the heart of Infidels. He went to ground zero and praised the place. Just in case anybody got extra stupid, always a possibility with news entertainers, he forced Mubarak to allow Mo-Bro-Hood officials attend. Hosni knew the implications of that, Columbia/Harvard/Chicago Man Barack being a dumbass did not. The Mo-Bro-Hood took control, the killing started, and they had to be removed. But when the smoke cleared one of the Mo-Bro-Hood’s highest level daughters, Huma Abedin, remained at the pinnacle of the State Dept.
Daughters of the American Revolution. Daughters of the Islamic Revolution.

How come Ibrahim al Sammarai says he is Muslim who does not drink alcohol , yet he gets BOMBED?
Oliver says
he was killed before. Sounds like what some Muslim said a few years ago, about Madonna. he would cut her head off, then kill her. (Her ” sin’– she supposedly studied some Jewish mysticism.
As one comment was, wouldn’t beheading her kill her?And how can one be killed twice?
And, a shame–only 8 leaders of ISIS killed. Should have been more– and thousands of their followers.
Jack Diamond says
Muslims get used to living without a head. An understandable mistake.
