Unpunctual Baghdadi barely survives Iranian attack by showing up late to meeting
[ALMASDARNEWS] Sometimes it pays to be late, which is especially the case for the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...the head of ISIS, or what remains of it, and a veteran of the Abu Graib jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us. So far he has been killed at least four times, though not yet by a stake through the heart...
, as he allegedly escaped the Iranian attack on eastern Syria.

According to a report from Iraqi News, the Islamic State leader barely survived the Iranian attack this week after showing up late to the terrorist group’s meeting near the strategic city of Albukamal.

Citing a Baghdad Today interview with Hashd al-Sha’abi leader Jabar al-Ma’amouri, the report claimed "the Iranian shelling against specific pockets of Islamic State, east of Euphrates in Syria, using missiles few days ago targeted an important meeting for the so-called Islamic State’s war council, to which Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was on way."

The terrorist leader "was about to get killed in the shelling but he survived as he was late few minutes for the meeting."

They would add that ’Ali al-Mashadani, Baghdadi’s deputy, was killed during the attack; he was reportedly in line to be his successor.
Love the tone of the above, missing from the original Iraqi News report. Iraqi News does add:
According to Maamouri, "Ali al-Mashadani, Baghdadi’s deputy, who was killed in the shelling. He was nominated to be the coming caliph."

Several Islamic State leaders were killed by the strikes, he added.
