Islamic State militants fighting in Syria and Iraq have released an audio message they claim is of terror leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi urging supporters to unleash a 'volcano of jihad' on the West.

Lacing his speech with religious phrases, the voice believed to belong to Baghdadi describes jihad as 'the peak of Islam' and said those who do not fight non-believers will suffer 'painful torment.'

The release - which has not been independently verified - comes just days after Iraqi officials claimed the ISIS chief had at least been injured and may very well be dead after an American airstrike destroyed a convoy of up to 10 vehicles that was travelling through the country.
