.... Are you under the impression that it’s ISIS in Aleppo...

Had read that Al Baghdadi was in Aleppo at the time the battle began and they closed down exiting the city. Don’t know. But, if he is, yes,ISIS is in Aleppo.

Regardless, Raqqa needs fumigated to rid it of the vermin there.

No, ISIS is ~not~ in Aleppo. It’s not a debatable point. They’re simply not there. ISIS territory begins at around Dayr Hanta, down through Marran, Suran, Shamir and Rasm al-Abd; northeast to al-Madyunah; east to Aran and Ayn al-Jihash; and east-southeast to Dayr Hafir. Inside Aleppo is Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, Ahrar al-Sham, Sham Front, al-Zinki, etc, under the banner of Jaish al-Fatah and to a lesser extent Fatah Halab. They not only are not ISIS, they’re enemies of ISIS (with the possible exception of al-Zinki, which seems to tolerate ISIS - leading to conflicts with other parts of the rebel coalition, with JFS usually acting as the “moderator”).

Re, al-Baghdadi: You’re confusing Aleppo with Mosul.

It’s important that if you want to discuss Syria and be taken seriously that you actually learn who is where, what their allegiances are, etc. If you insist that someone is somewhere that they are not, you just look silly.
