The Guardian: Isis leader incapacitated with suspected spinal injuries after air strike
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is being treated in hideout two months after attack while deputy leader Abu Alaa al-Afri runs terror group intent on revenge
The leader of the Islamic State (Isis), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, remains incapacitated due to suspected spinal damage and is being treated by two doctors who travel to his hideout from the group’s stronghold of Mosul, the Guardian has learned.
More than two months after being injured in a US air strike in north-western Iraq, the self-proclaimed caliph is yet to resume command of the terror group that has been rampaging through Iraq and Syria since June last year. Three sources close to Isis have confirmed that Baghdadi’s wounds could mean he will never again lead the organisation.

With ISIS doing a pretty fair job in operations lately, the fact if true, that al-Baghdadi has been out of the loop for two months points to him being a figurehead in the first place and not the real power.
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I am sorry this Baghdadi guy is badly injured. In fact, I hope he suffers greatly.
