Islamic State leader said injured in airstrike
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIslamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Bahgdadi was reportedly seriously injured in a recent airstrike, several Iraqi news outlets say.
The Iraqi television station al-Hura cited a security source saying Baghdadi and other senior members of the terror group were injured two days ago in an airstrike in Iraq.
The security source also said Baghdadi has been living in an underground bunker, and was targeted while meeting with the group’s leadership.
Since the rise of the Islamic State, there have been multiple reports about airstrikes injuring or killing Baghdadi, but none have been confirmed.
