baghdadiLeader of the Islamic State Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi was injured in Iraqi Army’s airstrike. Currently he is in a hospital, a local source confirmed to Sputnik Monday.

“Al-Baghdadi was wounded and currently is at a hospital of Al-Qaim. The hospital is encircled by the [ISIL] group’s militants,” the source told Sputnik.

The town of Al-Qaim is located in the northwest of Iraq on the border with Syria.

The Islamic State is a radical Sunni group that has ceased vast areas in Syria and Iraq. It aims to establish an Islamic caliphate on the occupied territories. The radicals have become notorious for numerous terrorist attacks and their mass executions, stoning of women and the beheading of foreigners.

On Wednesday, Iraqi Parliament Defense and Security Committee Chairman Haqim Zamli told Sputnik that Iraq may turn to Russia for military help in the fight against the Islamic State if Russian airstrikes in Syria prove successful.

But according to reports from Syria the Russian airstrikes are mainly targeting the rebels and are providing cover to the Islamic State militants to seize more ground from the moderate rebels

      And “go get em, Russia”???
      First, Russia hasn’t attacked Isis.
      Second, Russia isn’t bombing in Iraq. Do you really want to keep expanding this conflict?
      Third, why didn’t you say go get em, coalition..seeing they are bombing in Iraq.

    And why haven’t the Americans bombed the hospital? It’s not like they don’t bomb hospitals.
    “Earlier on Wednesday, MSF called for an independent international commission to investigate the attack, which it deems a war crime.

    The medical charity said that the inquiry would gather facts and evidence from the US, NATO and Afghanistan, as well as testimonies from MSF staff and patients who survived Saturday’s attack.

    Only then would MSF consider whether to bring criminal charges for loss of life and partial destruction of its trauma hospital, which has left tens of thousands of Afghans without access to healthcare, it said.”
