Iraqi officials said Sunday that an airstrike wounded the leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Pentagon officials said they had no immediate information on such a strike or al-Baghdadi being wounded.

Iraq’s Defense and Interior Ministries issued statements saying al-Baghdadi had been wounded, without elaborating.

An Interior Ministry intelligence official told The Associated Press that al-Baghdadi was hit during a meeting Saturday with militants in the town of Qaim in Iraq’s western Anbar province. The official, citing informants within the militant group, said the strikes wounded al-Baghdadi. A senior Iraqi military official also said he learned in operational meetings that al-Baghdadi had been wounded.

Neither knew the extent of al-Baghdadi’s apparent injuries. Both spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential material. State television later also reported that al-Baghdadi had been wounded.

Al-Baghdadi, an ambitious Iraqi militant believed to be in his early 40s, has a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head. Since taking the reins of the group in 2010, he has transformed it from a local branch of al-Qaida into an independent transnational military force, positioning himself as perhaps the pre-eminent figure in the global jihadi community.

A U.S.-led coalition has been launching airstrikes on Islamic State militants and facilities in Iraq and Syria for months as part of an effort to give Iraqi forces the time and space to mount a more effective offensive. The Islamic State had gained ground across northern and western Iraq in a lightning advance in June and July, causing several of Iraq’s army and police divisions to fall into disarray.

On Friday, U.S. President Barack Obama authorized the deployment of up to 1,500 more American troops to bolster Iraqi forces, including into Anbar province, where fighting with Islamic State militants has been fierce. The plan could boost the total number of American troops in Iraq to 3,100. There now are about 1,400 U.S. troops in Iraq, out of the 1,600 previously authorized.

  1. Did Iran’s cheap ploy using daesh failed? What surprise they have up in there sleeves stored for the world next? With who n what they will scare n make people fear as daesh didn’t work out as they envisioned to continue their illegal evil rule?
    What happened to the so called brilliance of cryptoyahud-shits?
    Why each n every of their evil ploys failing?
    Are they not calling the names of all their imams? Did they abandoned them?
    Did corruption n disunity set in?
    World is waiting to see their cave ridden messiah with ONE EYE.
    Shit crescent seems to be so near but yet so far, why?
    Why their pagan inhumane beliefs and cheap strategies are getting so embarrassingly exposed no matter how much money, fake boastful propaganda, lies filled rhetoric’s, etc. they are spilling?
    You actually start to feel for their pathetic state they got themselves in.
    Even if n when their ONE EYED cave ridden messiah comes his stay will be short lived, why?

          I’d take that deal. I’ll recognize that I live in a cartoon book if you do the same.

          1. Wish anyone could but hey enjoy your stay! Thanks for your offer though!
            On a serious note you are way better n far less a hypocrite than the “shits” n those blind followers of “shits” on here!
            It’s rare to see someone somewhat balanced in their criticism on here!
            Hey, you can do better…aight!

            BTW, Pls don’t go the Hind or Farq way!

            I’ll go to Hind or Farq’s side when the Mahdi will show up or when there will be electricity 24/7 in Lebanon (I think Mahdi will come first).
            And a piece of advice to you, don’t take the “I hate Shia” motto and attack the whole sect and its believers. Plenty of shit to talk about Hezbollah and the Mullahs regime; leave the population out of it ๐Ÿ˜‰

          3. Thanks! It’s not hate hate towards the good hard working followers but unfortunately they blindly follow n do what the scums in Qom, Najaf, and Lebanon tell n dictate. See hind, farq, usequals, etc. on here. So if the whole “shit” population is like the regime then what you do!? Wish they understood those scumbags n were just in their views but unfortunately they proved it else each time, anyways you know the rest!

            It’s not hate, It’s just you are upset because the Shiites and Alawites are stepping on the necks of your brothers in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. You being upset is understandable. Which brings me to my next question, How are your brothers and sisters from Bab Al Tabbaneh, I hear they are looking for new homes. Hahahahahahaha. You animals played your cards and lost. I suggest you come to terms with that you piece of Shit.

    Just dont feed him to the fish this time let’s see if He can be tried in an international court then handed over to Iraqi officials to be tried again. I want to see what he has to offer as an explanation for why the hell they started this caliphate. Lets give him enough rope so he can hang himself. Maybe this will be the best way for his supporters to realise that they were duped by a con man and his legacy wont continue. Very important to clear this up, al Baghdadi is a germ his name and his cause must be wiped out.

    this proves that the americans r not to be trusted. they even kill their allies whenever they please

    1. America/Europe (Roman) will make a truce with the Muslim to attack Iran according to the prophesy. But that event will happen after the Roman invasion of Egypt. Iran will be disintegrated and will be looted by bandits
