Baghdadi is hiding in Idlib province: SDF commander
[ALMASDARNEWS] A front man from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) told Russia Today’s Arabic channel that leader of 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/ISIS/IS/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...
, is currently hiding in the Idlib Governorate in northwestern Syria.

According to the spokesperson form the SDF, Mostafa Bali, the Islamic State commander is currently hiding among the Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels in the Idlib Governorate.

Furthermore, Bali claimed on his Twitter page that the ISIS oil minister has confessed to transferring nearly 40 tons of gold and a large number of valuable goods from Iraq to Syria.

Despite these claims, Iraqi sources claimed in February that al-Baghdadi was alive and hiding in Syria near the Iraqi border.

"Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is still alive and is in Syria," RT quoted an Iraqi intelligence source as saying on condition of anonymity.

There have been multiple claims made regarding the whereabouts of al-Baghdadi; however, it is still unclear where this terrorist leader is currently hiding out.

What is known from Syrian and Iraqi sources is that the Islamic State is still very active in both countries, despite the fact they do not control any significant piece of territory.
