ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has reportedly been killed in a US air strike in Raqqa.
His death, reported by the AlhlulBayt news agency, would be a major blow for the jihadists and comes only days after 50 people were killed in an Orlando nightclub by a man pledging allegiance to ISIS.

The timing is awfully coincidental.
AWFULLY coincidental
News agencies in Asia are also reporting that he has been killed.
Was he “buried at sea?”
Oh,no.
Now the jihadis will really be mad.
They will be very,very,very mad at us.
We should not have done this. /s /puke
If only this is true. Someone else will obviously take the reins and life will move on but it’s a victory for our side for sure. Anytime one of their spiritual leaders gets off’d it sets the movement back...

Post from yesterday says it was Russian/Syrian strike that did it. I can’t imagine Obama would do this without announcing it himself, immediately.
There’s been buzz in Israel and the Middle East for maybe a week that al-Baghdadi’s location was being tracked. Some reports are that it was a Russian air strike, not an American one. He had a $25 million bounty, so he likely wasn’t going to last too long.
burn in hell, scumbag
yeah the timing is incredible — same day as Orlando??!!
article says “Sunday morning” — if they mean Syria time (7 hours ahead of EDT) then the scumbag may have been dead when the Orlando shoot pledged fealty
OR could the Obamanation have heard about Orlando and then ordered the strike immediately??
has the admin. been keeping al-Baghdadi on a string until it proved politically convenient to strike??
I wonder if 0bama will send a White House delegation to attend his funeral.
It was news in India June 10, so it was probably last Sunday, June 5.
Those kind like to rise ‘miraculously’ from the dead,
One sign if its true, Lindsey will be over to comfort John McCain, he shouldn’t be alone at a time like this,
Betcha Russia got him. Think that’s what I read a couple days ago.
Fine. Now obliterate all the ISIS camps.
“No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
“I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
“Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
“With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph — so help us God.” - FDR, December 8, 1941
I miss the days when Democrats were also Americans.
Isn’t this like the 17th time he’s been killed?
He’ll be back. More lives than a cat.
Cool. The war is over. We won. We defeated the centuries old threat to civilization. When do the parades start? Nice work POSOTUS and Hillaryous.
