ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
FOX News: Elusive ISIS leader al-Baghdadi believed hiding out in Syrian frontier
MOSUL, Iraq – ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - still the world's most wanted man, with a $25 million bounty on his head - is believed to be very much at large, quite possibly in a desert area of Syria.
That's the assessment of multiple officials who say Baghdadi - whose real name is Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim al-Basri - is likely sheltering in a remaining ISIS bastion in the Euphrates River Valley, a barren terrain with vast open plains, on the Syrian side of the porous border with Iraq.
“The last information we have is he is in Al-Hajin in Syria, 18 miles from the border in Deir ez-Zor province,” Abu Ali al-Basri, director-general of the intelligence and counter-terrorism office at the Iraqi Ministry of Interior, told Fox News on Sunday. Al-Basri said fresh information about Baghdadi's whereabouts has come as recently as the last couple of days, and is being used conduct a“multi-force raid” with Russian, Syrian and Iranian troops.

Wouldn't be surprised if he had gotten on that bus... you know the bus I'm talking about? One that made the news awhile back, that had US/Russian targets on it, but children, women etc were on the bus and it was allowed to continue on its merry way.
"...but children, women etc were on the bus and it was allowed to continue on its merry way." Obviously the US cares about such things and even it did not the media would go bonkers over reports of US airstrikes killing women and children. If the Russians knew where this bus was, I don't think they worry about such things. As such, I am a bit skeptical of the story.
Isn't it time for Baghdadi to die again. It has been a few months since the last time.
