IS publishes photo of leader Al-Baghdadi with his son after release from Iraqi prison
2014-11-07
[Iraq News] Sites affiliated with the so-called Islamic state in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) published a picture claiming to show the leader of the group, His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
after arriving to the Syrian border with his young son.

The image shows three masked men and a child who wears a mask as well. The sites referred to it as "Al-Baghdadi is carrying a gun and standing next to his son."

The same sites -- followed by IraqiNews.com -- explained that Al-Baghdadi appeared in the picture after his release from Buca prison in southern Iraq where he was held in captivity for months. He then journeyed with his family to the Syrian ‐ Iraqi border to manage gangs and begin the formation of the terrorist organization which is now known as 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....
