The Iraqi air force struck a convoy of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in western Anbar province close to the Syrian border on Sunday, a military statement said.

The fate of the militant leader, who has declared himself the leader of a Caliphate in areas it controls in Iraq and Syria, is still unknown, the statement said.

"Iraqi air forces have bombed the convoy of the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while he was heading to Karabla to attend a meeting with Daesh commanders", the statement read, using the Arabic acronym for Islamic State.

I hope they got <everyone.gif>

Especially his lieutenants. While the great leader is the one inspiring the masses, it's the various XOs who know the ins and outs of boring but vital daily ops.

Good. Maybe this will reestablish hope in the people of Iraq.

"Iraq" as we know it is dead and will never come back. The western, Sunni region of that country will likely never again be under the control of the majority Shia population.
 
Hope he's dead but hes a pretty elusive guy and seems to have a lot of luck avoiding these types of things. Doesn't seem safe for him to be in a convoy either, seems like that would give his location away easily

Al-Zarqawi and of course Bin Laden were the same way. These fuckers have like nine lives.
