Hopefully there is a Hellfire, or MOAB, or "le soleil dans le canette" (I read that phrase elsewhere and like the way it sounds) in this coward's immediate future, now that this particular turd has floated to the surface of the cesspool.

Foxnews.com: ISIS leader al-Baghdadi pictured for first time since 2014, intel group says

Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been pictured in a new video for the first time since July 2014.

In the video -- released by ISIS’s propaganda arm al-Furqan and obtained by SITE Intelligence Group – Baghdadi reportedly claims that his followers died fighting to the end in territories and cities that have been routed by U.S.-backed coalition forces.

He also claims that the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka were retaliation for ISIS being defeated in their Baghouz, their last stronghold in Syria, and refers to the recent oustings of leaders in Algeria and Sudan, meaning that the video must have been shot within the last week.

Rumors of Baghdadi’s death have persisted in recent months as ISIS militants who have surrendered to the forces believed their ideological leader abandoned their cause. Prior to Monday’s developments, Baghdadi’s most recent call to arms was in a series of audio clips released in August 2018.

“Hopefully we will reach him very soon, especially now that ISIS has been defeated in its final place in Baghouz, Syria and they have lost all their land in Iraq,” Sabah al Namaan, a spokesperson for Iraq’s counterterrorism agency, told Fox News earlier this month. “Now, we have a real opportunity to catch or kill him.

“The latest information is that he is still in the Syrian desert, and could not enter into the Iraqi side because of concerns about evading the security measures on the borders,” he added.

Baghdadi – whose real name is Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim al-Badri – suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure and injuries sustained during an airstrike years ago. He remains the world’s most wanted man, with the United States continuing to offer up to $25 million for information leading to his location.

Baghdadi’s absence from the public spotlight has been causing deep fissures within the crumbling terrorist organization, which, though eroded, still boasts between 28,000 and 32,000 soldiers, Fox News reported in March.

“He’s hiding somewhere, people were angry,” Mohammed Ali, an ISIS fighter from Canada who was captured by the U.S.-backed Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces, told The Sunday Times that month.

Earlier this year, Iraqi intelligence officials speaking to Fox News maintained he was lurking in Syrian border towns, often donning non-traditional or “regular” clothes, using a civilian car and making sure all those around him had no mobile phones or electronic devices in order to bypass detection.

Baghdadi is believed to have survived a coup effort from within his own ranks in January, when several senior fighters attempted to oust him by leading him from his hideout into a firefight with foreign fighters. But he was reportedly whisked away by his security.

Between his own people out to get him and everyone else tracking him, I'd say his days are numbered.

All is as Allah wills it.

It's almost better having him living in constant fear, wondering "Is today The Day?.".

After several years of that, death may seem like a release.

By the line of discoloration in his beard, I'm guessing he's under some pressure.

ISIS being defeated in their Baghouz


When I was a kid, the old Italian immigrants called the toilet the "baghouz." (It took me a long time to decipher that as "back house.").

ISIS was defeated in their toilet.

Good! Big Grin

Wish as we might, that’s some weird Don King meets boy rapist shit they do over there. Beards dyed red is is a signal for not good things.

We had him in prison in Iraq but he was released during the Obama administration.

I believe you, but it still makes him look like he laps water out of a heavily-used gasoline station toilet.
