Islamic State Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's Son 'Killed In Syria'

Long War Journal: Baghdadi’s son killed fighting Syrian and Russian forces, Islamic State says

The Islamic State’s media channels have posted a graphic honoring the son of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (also known as Ibrahim ‘Awwad Ibrahim ‘Ali al-Badri) as a “martyr.”

According to the text on the image, Hudhayfah al-Badri “was killed in an inghimasi operation against the Nusayriyyah and the Russians at the thermal power station in” the Homs province. “Nusayriyyah” is a derogatory reference to Bashar al Assad’s regime and its Alawite supporters.
