ISIS leader Baghdadi not dead yet
2017-01-01
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Pentagon said Friday it believes that ISIS chief 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...
is indeed alive, despite repeated efforts by the US-led coalition to take out the bad boy group leader.

Baghdadi has kept a low profile, despite having declared himself the leader of a renewed caliphate, but last month released a defiant audio message urging his supporters to defend the northern Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
It is not clear if he is in the besieged city, where he declared his caliphate in 2014 after the ISIS group seized territory covering much of eastern Syria and northern Iraq.

"We do think Baghdadi is alive and is still leading ISIS (ISIS) and we are obviously doing everything we can to track his movements," Pentagon front man Peter Cook told CNN.

"If we get the opportunity, we certainly would take advantage of any opportunity to deliver him the justice he deserves," he said.

"We're doing everything we can. This is something we're spending a lot of time on."
