Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Islamic State (IS) chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is believed to be “clinically dead” after an Iraqi airstrike targeted him during a meeting with a host of IS leaders in Syria last June, a security source was quoted as saying.
“Iraqi warplanes launched an airstrike inside the Syrian territories in June, targeting a meeting of Islamic State leaders, where the group’s chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was present,” the source told AlSumaria News on Monday.
According to the source, the airstrike left al-Baghdadi mortally wounded and incapable of assuming his duties, prompting the group’s leaders to nominate Abu Othman al-Tunisi to succeed him.
