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."

Well let’s wait and see...

I do believe there’s something about a head wound and it being healed...

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...

So, if someone believes in a heavenly Father who hasn't sent His own Son to die for everyone to remove their sins and allow me a way into into his kingdom by grace, that God is a lie?

“Sure that any fair skinned or foreign jihadist that is captured will be summarily executed.”

Naah. They will have an industrial, aka work accident after a short and severe session of questioning. Those being questioned will request water boarding during the questioning to cool off.

“always a good strategy - take out the leaders first

often snipers are given the assignment.

Which is why so many Generals and Admirals and other high ranking lifers don’t to use snipers.

Strawman argument...sorry, not going for it...

The question posed by you "is the god (allah) in Islam the same as the Jewish and Christian God...

The answer is no based on the way the religion is practiced...they are diametrically opposite...one must be a lie...

To answer your strawman question in a roundabout way, almost every major religion outside of the Christian, Jewish faith, do not have a single deity to worship...makes you question a moot one..

I didn't make an argument, strawman or otherwise. I asked a question. A question based on the premise you presented above.

The question posed by you "is the god (allah) in Islam the same as the Jewish and Christian God...

I didn't pose that question; that's one of your own fabrication.

To answer your strawman question in a roundabout way, almost every major religion outside of the Christian, Jewish faith, do not have a single deity to worship...makes you question a moot one..

Almost every; but you didn't answer my question at all. You answered one of your own making. Carry on with insulting Allah/God. After all, it is your right.

I understand that the pigs are putting out false reports of followers being dead or injured so they can make their way back to the US to spread murder and mayhem here.

It is for Christians and Jews in Arabic speaking countries.

Speak for yourself.

I have no need for that. I'm a Christian, a Christian who knows the true definition of the word Allah, and one who recognizes that Islam is enacting laws trying to prevent Christians from using the word they were using before the existance of Islam.

I for one won't be insulting Allah/God.
