MOSCOW — Russia’s military said on Friday that it was looking into whether one of its airstrikes in the Syrian desert had killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-declared caliph of the Islamic State.

In a statement, the Defense Ministry said that the Russian Air Force struck a meeting of Islamic State leaders on May 28 outside Raqqa, Syria, the group’s de facto capital, possibly killing Mr. Baghdadi.

If he’s really dead, I wonder if he’ll get a star on the memorial wall at CIA headquarters.

He will if McCain has anything to say about it.

I never saw a pic of Osama bin Laden death...just some white wrap and burial at sea claimed. SO, if you want to convince me, just show me the body! DNA, and pics!
