Iraqi Isis Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi 'Severely Injured and Flees to Syria'
International Business Times ^ | 07/05/2014 | Vasudevan Sridharan

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Sunni militant outfit Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), is said to have been severely injured in the raging battle forcing him to flee to neighbouring Syria.

According to a report in the Iraqi news network Al Sumaria, the insurgent leader was injured during a raid led by Iraq's Shiite-led security forces in the west of Anbar.

"The Iraqi security forces carried out an operation in the city of Qaim on the border with Syria based on accurate intelligence and with the help of the Air Force where the leader of ISIL, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was seriously injured," said Haidar al-Shara, a representative of the international parliament in Iraq.

However, the report has so far not been independently verified. If confirmed, it will be a severe blow to the militant group which has been marching on several Iraqi cities.

The Iraqi official said: "After being hit, al-Baghdadi, with a range of elements of his organisation fled into Syrian territory because of its proximity to Qaim," adding: "al-Baghdadi might be killed as a result of the severity of his injuries."

(piss be upon him)

    Allah: The Aramaic word for "God" in the language of Assyrian Christians is ʼĔlāhā, or Alaha. Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, use the word "Allah" to mean "God".[4] The Christian Arabs of today have no other word for "God" than "Allah".[20] (Even the Arabic-descended Maltese language of Malta, whose population is almost entirely Roman Catholic, uses Alla for "God".) Arab Christians for example use terms Allāh al-ab (الله الأب) meaning God the Father, Allāh al-ibn (الله الابن) mean God the Son, and Allāh al-rūḥ al-quds (الله الروح القدس) meaning God the Holy Spirit. (See God in Christianity for the Christian concept of God.)

The rules of engagement are a bit different in this conflict. Sure that any fair skinned or foreign jihadist that is captured will be summarily executed.

If he dies, that could set back radical Islam 1300 years.

But, that is what they want — a return to the 7th Century.

hmmm

Thanks for the language lesson I didn’t need....I perfectly understood what I posted...

The use of the word “Allah” by the demon death cult of Islam, does not translate at least to me as “God” the almighty creator of all heaven and earth...the God of the Jews and Christians...

So piss be upon him and his child raping prophet and their hordes of bearded barbarians ....

Has Obama sent his condolences yet? Maybe a US medical team to help with his recovery?

It wasn't just for you.

Quit thinking of just yourself. Allah is the word for God for Arabic speaking Christians and Jews.

So piss be upon him

Classy.

A tiny percentage of the world wide non muslim world...

As you well know or should know, these Jihadist will just as easily lope off the heads of these Arabic speaking Christians and Jews as any other infidels...regardless of the way they pronounce God..

I also must point out that the God of the Jews and Christians at least the God of their written word is NOTHING like the god of the Koran...

The attributes and characteristics of God of the Torah and Bible are nothing like the attributes and characteristics of the god of the Koran...

Since both religions claim to believe in the one true God, one MUST be a lie...

I know what I believe...

Classy

If it's classless to speak the truth, so be it...

Hard to decide...???

Humm...Tapping fingers on table... waiting for inspiration...

Let's see:
The Christian religion believes the heavenly Father sent his own Son to die for everyone to remove their sins and allow me a way into into his kingdom by grace...

As opposed to:
The religion of Islam is on a worldwide conquest to subjugate (submit) the world by terror and the sword...Heaven is only guaranteed if you blow yourself up as a martyr and kill as many infidels as possible...

Like I said, it's a tough call...

(Rolling eyes...)

“Many of these Sunni jihadists are from Chechnya.They are the same jihadists who are causing mayhem in southern Russia. The Russians hope to slaughter as many as possible while they are overextended in Iraq. Hence the logistical and leadership support for Iraq and the common cause with Iran in Syria.”

Yes indeed. Putin can sell his planes and rent out his merc pilots to kill as many Checnyians and other Sunnis as they can.

It is a low cost way to take out Russia’s enemies and their buddies.

The Russian’s only ROE’s will be to kill any Isis bastards and those around them.

“with the help of the Air Force where the leader of ISIL, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was seriously injured,” said Haidar al-Shara, a representative of the international parliament in Iraq.”

Which air force?

The Russians or the Iranians?
