Daesh Leader Al-Baghdadi Escapes Mosul Airstrike Minutes ahead of Attack
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Daesh terrorist group ringleader, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, escaped an airstrike in Iraq to liberate the northern city of Mosul, local security sources told Sputnik on Monday.
An airstrike was conducted on Iraq’s Mosul city, during a meeting of the commanders of the Daesh.
In attendance in that meeting was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who is constantly changing his location in Iraq and Syria. Unfortunately, at the last moment, he escaped.
"Baghdadi escaped at the last moment from the airstrike on a meeting among commanders in Mosul," the sources said without clarifying whether the strike was conducted by Iraqi forces or the US-led coalition.
Al-Baghdadi's movements are known only by his inner circle, with the terrorist ringleader constantly changing location in Iraq and Syria to avoid airstrikes.
