ISIS Terror Group Chief Al-Baghdadi Injured in Iraqi Airstrike

ISIS Terror Group Chief Al-Baghdadi Injured  in Iraqi Airstrike

Alwaght- Iraq’s Air Force has struck the convoy of ISIS terrorist group chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, with reports saying he was injured and a number of his henchmen killed.
"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 ISIS commanders," an Iraqi military statement read.
The Baghdad Information Center confirmed that the notorious ISIS terrorist ringleader was injured in the Airstrike.
“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was injured in the bombing that targeted his motorcade,” the center said in a statement on Sunday.
It added that two terrorist leading figures – Abu Omar Kubaisi and Abu Saad Karbouli – were also injured in the attack.
Several  social media sources reported earlier that  al-Baghdadi was killed during the airstrike.
The convoy was attacked on Sunday in western Anbar province, at a location not far from the Syrian border, where Baghdadi was known to be meeting Islamic State commanders.
"The location of the meeting was also bombed and many of the group's leaders were killed and wounded. The fate of the murderer al-Baghdadi is unknown and he was carried away by a vehicle. His health condition is still unclear," the Iraqi military said.
Reports of al-Baghdadi being killed or deposed as Islamic State leader have emerged before, and his whereabouts have remained unknown for long periods of time.
According to a report in May, his spine was seriously wounded in an airstrike by the anti-ISIS coalition, which left him incapacitated. However, a few days later an audiotape of al-Baghdadi urging Muslims to join his self-proclaimed "caliphate" in Iraq and Syria was released.
ISIS terrorist group has seized large swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria, and has forged alliances with other militant groups in the Middle East.
Last June, the terrorist group proclaimed itself to be a worldwide caliphate, and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi began to be referred to as caliph by his followers.
The Syrian government says ISIS terrorists and other terrorists operating the country obtain support and funding from some Western countries led by the US and its regional allies including the Israeli regime, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey.
