Media reports indicate that the dreaded terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghadi, the chief of ISIS, is dead

#ISIS #Pentagon #albaghdadi #alBaaj #RadioIran #Nineveh Media reports indicate that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the creator of the terrorist organization Islamic State, is dead – this would be a major setback to the terrorist outfit ISIS. The news has been released by Radio Iran and also Al India Radio.
This is as per zeenews.india.com dated 27 April 2015.

If true, it could mean the end of a period of nightmare and a quick end to violence and deaths in the areas controlled by the ISIS that had made the lives of people uncertain. The global powers should move in now and take necessary steps to eliminate the ones who would be hungry to take the reins of the rogue outfit because it is reportedly worth billions of dollars.
But, in the absence of a strong leader, the next rung leadership could begin to fight among themselves to pick up the largest possible shares.
There had been reports in the media that Baghdadi had received serious 'life-threatening' injuries during a US-led airstrike in March and that the strike had left him seriously wounded. It had also been suggested that Baghdadi was no more in control of daily operations of ISIS since he had not recovered. But, there was no confirmation.
The Pentagon had also not confirmed the report of Baghdadi being injured – they have said that there was no evidence to prove that the ISIS chief had suffered injuries when the US-led coalition planes bombarded the al-Baaj a district of Nineveh, near Syrian border on March 18.
Obviously, they are playing it safe and could, possibly, be planning to launch an offensive to flush out the next rung leaders. There is already a bounty of $10 million on the head of al-Baghdadi.
