The leader of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is almost certainly still alive, according to one of Iraqi Kurdistan's intelligence chiefs, despite several reports that he was killed in Syria in June.
"Baghdadi is definitely alive. He is not dead. We have information that he is alive. We believe 99 percent he is alive," Lahur Talabany told Reuters in an interview.
"Don't forget his roots go back to Al-Qaeda days in Iraq. He was hiding from security services. He knows what he is doing," he added.

I thought ISIS already was Al Qaeda on steroids?
I mean when even the co-founder of Al Qaeda says you’ve gone too far with beheadings, you’ve already out-Al Qaed’ed them.

Hitler isn’t dead either. He and Mussolini are running a bratwurst stand somewhere in Argentina.

Anyone keeping a count of how many times he has been declared dead? I don’t think anyone pays attention, which is in many ways OK (is he even a real person?), except that his “death” can be used for propaganda purposes over and over again. The whole media narrative is so Baghdad-Bob-ish.

You gotta remember that Mussolini was completely under Hitler’s thumb. If Adolf says put bratwurst on the grill, then Benito gonna put bratwurst on the grill.

We have information that he is alive. Then share the information so we can kill him again.

Indeed. He likely is but we saw no body and that would have helped confirm things.
