BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's intelligence chief said on Wednesday that the son of a leader of an organization calling for Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in central Syria had been killed in a Russian raid on July 2, which is different from the organization's version. 

"The terrorist named Huthaifah al-Badri, the son of al-Baghdadi, was not an Ingushetia, not even a fighter, as he was called," the Iraqi intelligence source said. "His presence was symbolically moving among addicts and others as a kind of psychological propaganda for the rest of the organization." 

The source confirmed that his death was an air strike by the Russians on a cave in Homs. According to the polls of the hawks, this cave was demarcated. It has three entrances and includes up to 30 terrorist leaders and the protection elements of Hudhayfah, where three smart missiles were hit on July 2, 2018. Confirm the killing of 11 people.

A +AA-

Irbil (Kurdistan 24) - The leader of the organization of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi came to the public after a silence of about a year, calling on his supporters to continue fighting.

This comes after the successive defeats suffered by the organization in the territories seized in both Iraq and Syria in the recent period.

"The balance of victory or defeat in the Mujahedeen is not dependent on a city or a town that was robbed and not subject to the ownership of air superiority, intercontinental missiles or smart bombs ... and when they renounce their religion and patience and the Jihad of their enemy and their promise of their Creator they are defeated and humiliated," Baghdadi said.

And publishing the voice recording on the sites and accounts in support of the organization calling on the Internet. Kurdistan 24 has not been able to verify the validity of registration independently.

Baghdadi criticized in the registration attributed to him, both Russia and the United States, saying "once the Mujahideen failed to reconcile God and from what America was dreaming of control and the extension of influence, until the Crusader Russia came to contend in the region and be reluctant to sing it."

He continued, "We in the state of Islam have prepared for you, protectors of the Cross and kill the Sunnis on the land of the Levant and everywhere will forget you, God willing, the horrors of Iraq and Khrassan."

Baghdadi's last record is September, and his supporters around the world have called for attacks in every country they can reach.

Baghdadi said, "Soldiers of the Caliphate in Syria and in Damascus and Raqqa and Idlib and Aleppo, the promise of God and victory ... Evangelize ... With distress and a breakthrough and exit."

He called on supporters in Iraq to continue attacks against Shiites and apostates in a reference to Sunni supporters of the Iraqi government. He also called on his followers to maintain loyalty to the organization's leaders and urged the citizens of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Jordan to overthrow their rulers.

In July, Iraqi intelligence announced that Baghdadi's son, Hudhayfah al-Badri, had been killed in Syria by three Russian guided missiles that hit the cave inside.

Iraqi officials have confirmed earlier that Baghdadi is still alive but his movements are very limited within Syrian territory near the border with Iraq.

There have been many reports of Baghdadi's death or injury, but his speech, published late on Saturday, seems to suggest he is still alive.

Baghdadi Admits to Losing Lands ISIS Once Controlled in Iraq, SyriaISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, in his first purported speech in nearly a year, has called on followers to fight on despite recent defeats, according to an audio recording posted on the group's media outlet.

In the 55-minute statement, Baghdadi said that for his fighters, “the scale of victory or defeat is not dependant on a city or town being stolen or subject to that who has aerial superiority, intercontinental missiles or smart bombs.”

Reuters was unable to verify whether the voice on the Arabic recording posted by al-Furqan media group was Baghdadi's.

ISIS, which until last year controlled large areas in Syria and Iraq, has since been driven into the desert by successive defeats in offensives by international allies in both countries.

Reuters said that Baghdadi is now believed to be hiding in the Iraqi-Syrianborder region after losing all the cities and towns of his self-proclaimed “caliphate.” 

The secretive ISIS leader has frequently been reported killed or wounded since leading his fighters on a sweep through northern Iraq in 2014. His whereabouts are not known but Wednesday's message suggests he is still alive.

Iran helps Baghdadi move to Afghanistan

FacebookTwitterGoogle+EmailWhatsApp

 

 

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has moved to eastern Afghanistan via Iran, reported Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat.

 

Baghdadi reportedly moved to Afghanistan's Nangarhar province after traveling through Iran via the eastern Iranian city of Zahedan, where ISIShosts militants in cooperation with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to Pakistani security sources and extremists familiar with the situation.

 

There have been numerous reports that Baghdadi had been killed or wounded, as nothing had been heard from him since September 2017.

 

The reports of Iran helping the ISIS leader come after documents recovered from the raid on Osama bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan have been released, which show links between the clerical Shia regime in Iranand the Sunni terrorist organization al-Qaeda.

 

The US State Departments annual report of state sponsors of terrorism stated that “Iran has allowed al-Qaeda facilitators to operate a core facilitation pipeline through Iran since at least 2009, enabling al-Qaeda to move funds and fighters to South Asia and Syria.”

 

Also, in similar fashion to the Baghdadi reports, following meetings between Iran and Osama bin Laden in the 1990s, facilitated by Sudanese officials, Iran began to train terrorists within its own borders and facilitated the transfer of militants from Sudan to Afghanistan after the Taliban took control there in 1996.

New US reports follow the traces of "Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi"

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - US-based "Democratic Syria" forces arrested a leader of a pro-American organization, Fox News, on Monday, according to news reports circulated recently by the media and social media outlets. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, but it soon became clear that the news was just a rumor that was not true.

 

"The reports of the arrest of al-Baghdadi are just baseless rumors, he is still alive and well, and the person who was arrested bears the same family name," the agency quoted Keno Gabriel as saying.

 

According to the agency, "Baghdadi, his real name is Awad Ibrahim al-Badri, is now classified as the number one man in the world, after Washington put a prize of $ 25 million to provide information to help arrest him."

"We follow the path of al-Baghdadi, and we believe he is not staying in one place for more than a day," said Abu Ali al-Basri, director general of the Interior Ministry's intelligence office. "We have information that he is traveling between Syrian villages and towns, Anbar, and is also moving across Salahuddin province. "

 

Al-Basri pointed out that "the current estimates for the current year indicate that Baghdadi is located in the eastern border area in Syria, and moves between the towns of hybrid and Disha in Hasaka, and that is often disguised in plain civilian clothes so that no one can identify him."

 

According to al-Basri, "the last two people met by al-Baghdadi were Ismail al-Esawi, a member of the education committee in Dahesh, and Jamal Khalil al-Mashhadani, a preacher in the Iraqi city of Kirkuk. The meeting took place in the Syrian town of Dushisha last November, The arrest of Mashhadani by the Iraqi intelligence. "

 

The agency quoted various sources as saying that "al-Baghdadi usually travels unguarded so as not to attract attention to him, and that he and his assistants do not have any mobile phones, or other electronic devices to avoid tracking them."

 

"We believe that al-Baghdadi is in the Syrian desert, wearing modern clothes, driving a normal car with one driver without a guard, and everyone around him wearing modern civilian clothes to not draw attention," said security analyst Fadel Abu Raghef.

 

"Local militias in Syria and the security forces in Iraq are raiding homes, and it will not stop until Baghdadi is found," the agency said.

 

"Al-Baghdadi is considered a master in disguise, and he is still in areas controlled by Syrian militias and has not crossed into Iraq since 2017," said Hashim al-Hashami, a member of the National Reconciliation Commission and researcher on extremism and terrorism.

 

Hashemi said that "there are three scenarios for what may happen to Daash in the case of killing Baghdadi, or arrested, the first is the collapse of the organization, and the second selection of a new leader, and the third join Al Qaeda.

 

"Al-Baghdadi is on the border between Iraq and Iran and may try to cross into Afghanistan," Fox News quoted an activist in the city as saying.

 

"The pro-Syrian and Iranian media are behind a lot of rumors about al-Baghdadi," said Raphael Glock, the founder of the Goose Project, to follow jihadist news. "They are playing a game of some kind, perhaps to discourage the In order to raise its response in order to identify his whereabouts, and arrest him "End quote (1)

The leader of the terrorist organization Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has survived an internal coup last month by foreign fighters in western Syria, the Guardian newspaper reported. 
Sources in the Western intelligence sources suggest that the coup attempt on al-Baghdadi inside the organization took place on January 10 in a town near a hybrid area in Deir al-Zour. 
Foreign fighters exchanged fire in a deliberate manner with the bodyguards of the leader of the bloody organization, but Baghdadi survived the operation and was smuggled into an adjacent desert area. 
Two people were killed in the confrontation, and one intelligence source said one of the dead was close to the leader of the organization is calling. 
She offered a reward to anyone who kills Abu Maaz al-Jazairi, who is likely to be one of 500 fighters in the terrorist group in the region.
He did not appeal to the Algerian involvement in the assassination attempt of its leader, but the militant organization did not count on the allocation of rewards in exchange for the liquidation of some individuals, and says "The Guardian" The reason is to get involved in the assassination attempt.

Dodging elements feel "disappointed" after the disappearance of their leader in the desert

March       Regional News

.....

Alsumaria News / Baghdad 
The newspaper "Sunday Times" British, the elements of the "Daash" feel "deep anger and disappointment" because their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, disappeared in the desert instead of taking part in the last battle of the organization in the town of "Baguz" Syria. 

The newspaper said in a report posted on its website that the fighters have surrendered themselves to the organization "YBK / BK Ka", expressed their anger at the leader of the "da'ash" absent, while approaching the advanced forces from the last part of the territory of the organization, an area of area About half a square mile (1.295 km2) in the Syrian Euphrates valley.

 

According to the newspaper, interviews with elements of Daqash, local leaders, fighters and Western officials (unnamed) revealed a sense of "deep internal disappointment" from the alleged caliph, resulting in splits within the organization. 

"Ali (al-Baghdadi) is hiding somewhere and people are angry," quoted Mohammed Ali, a Canadian from the state, as his family, the Syrian Democratic Forces. 

Several local, regional and Western officials told the newspaper that they did not believe Baghdadi was in the latter part of the Da'ash territory. 

Officials have suggested that in Anbar, Western Sahara, a desert province, there may have been leaders who "huddle" family ties.

Since the declaration of what he called the "state of the caliphate" of the mosque "Nuri" in Mosul in a speech photographer in the summer of 2014, did not appear Baghdadi in other recordings of the organization, but issued a number of voice messages confused, urging his followers to remain strong. 

Last recorded in August last year, he called on the organization's supporters to attack Westerners with guns, bombs and knives, believed to have been recorded in previous weeks. 

His absence caused deep divisions within the dilapidated "Khilafa Khadafah" organization. 

Baghdadi is believed to have been seriously wounded in an air strike in 2015 and has reportedly died several times, although many Western and regional security officials believe he is still alive. 
After losing control of the area east of the Euphrates, only a few places in the Badia remained within the regime's control areas.

In mid-February, US-backed YPK / B Ka Ka reached an agreement to surrender the Da'ash elements trapped inside a small enclave in his last stronghold of Baguz in Deir al-Zour province. 

Hundreds of members of the extremist organization handed themselves over and were transferred to the oil field, which US forces take as a base. 

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump announced the tightening of US-backed forces in Syria, taking control of 100 percent of the land under the control of Da'ash. 
The organization is currently limited to some farms in parts of the Syrian desert, east of the country, administratively subordinate to the province of Homs (central), surrounded by the regime forces from each side. 

The number of elements of the organization in the mentioned areas about 1500, including elements have been evacuated from Raqqa and Deir al-Zour, under agreements with the "YBK" and the President of the Syrian regime Bashar al-Assad during the past two years.

After ISIS' Defeat: Where is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi?

CONFIRMATION THIS weekend that U.S.-backed fighters cleared the remaining Syrian territory controlled by the Islamic State group prompts a burning question: Where is the terrorist network's founder, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi?

Western officials have long downplayed the importance of capturing or killing the elusive leader as the U.S.-led coalition focused on ridding Syria and Iraq of the insurgent network's so-called caliphate, which at its height spanned an area the size of Portugal.

RELATED CONTENT

Last Vestige of ISIS Territory Freed

However, the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, now enters a new phase of broad insurgency as it tries to retain relevance and recruitment without an established homeland, making its symbolic leaders all the more significant in the network's increasingly global campaign.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence assessedearlier this year that, with the fall of its territory all but inevitable, the threats the Islamic State group poses will morph: "We assess that ISIS will seek to exploit Sunni grievances, societal instability, and stretched security forces to regain territory in Iraq and Syria in the long term." The Foundation Defense of Democracies warned in 2017 about the potency of the group's apocalyptic ideology even without formally controlling territory.

The global war on terror has been in part defined by intensive focus on tracking down the leaders of insurgent networks, including the highly publicized efforts to find and kill al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden in a safe house in Pakistan in 20111.

Yet when asked about Baghdadi's whereabouts in March 2018, coalition commander Marine Col. Seth Folsom told reporters from his headquarters in Iraq, "he's not having an effect out here.

 

"If al-Baghdadi is the king of his so-called caliphate, then we don't need to go directly after him," Folsom said, comparing the war to a game of chess. "All we need to do is systematically pick off his knights, his rooks and bishops, his mid-level and senior commanders, until none of them are left to protect him. And then eventually we'll bring him to justice."

Then-Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman at the time, pushed back against assertions in 2017 that finding Baghdadi had become a lower priority. He added that insurgent organizations like the Islamic State group get their "moral authority" from such leaders, even if Baghdadi had become irrelevant in the day-to-day operations of the network.

Born in Iraq and believed to be in his late 40s, Baghdadi reportedly began his religious, revolutionary zealotry during the regime of Saddam Hussein. He was drawn deeper into insurgent practices following his detention in the early 2000s at Abu Ghraib and Camp Bucca – overcrowded and under-resourced U.S. military prisons which experts now consider breeding grounds for future extremist leaders. He went on to fight for al-Qaida in Iraq, considered the precursor to the Islamic State group, which Baghdadi founded in Syria.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi AL-FURQAN MEDIA/ANADOLU AGENCY/GETTY IMAGES

He was known for a series of high-profile speeches, including one from the central mosque in Mosul during the height of the Islamic State group's reign. The subsequent conflict was marked by multiple reports of his death, including a Russian assertion with "high probability" that its airstrikes killed Baghdadi outside Raqqa.

 

Baghdadi was last heard from in August, when an audio recording was released of him urging followers to persevere despite heavy losses the group had suffered. The message included contemporaneous references, prompting analysts to conclude it was likely recorded shortly before.

Liberating the last of Islamic State group-controlled territory in Syria in recent days confirmed what close observers had assumed for months, that the elusive insurgent leader apparently fled and remains at large. Such behavior would mirror the liberation of other Islamic State group strongholds, such as Mosul in Iraq, the largest city it controlled during the height of its reign, and Raqqa in Syria, the symbolic capital of its so-called caliphate. American officials at the time noted that senior leaders there left the battlefields as the U.S.-backed coalition and allied forces on the ground closed in, leaving lower-level followers to fight to the death – or surrender.

Those captured troops continue to present a broader danger that some experts believe could replicate the circumstances that shaped Baghdadi's zealotry and rise continue to exist today. Detention camps housing former Islamic State group fighters are reportedly filled with tens of thousands of prisoners housed in deteriorating conditions and remain breeding grounds for radicalization. Meanwhile, the Trump administration and other allies, including the U.K., have not yet formed clear, sustainable policy for how to handle these detainees.

"The overcrowded detention centers are future 'Buccas' with the potential for the same toxic legacy," private intelligence firm The Soufan Group wrote in an analysis note last week. "If [Islamic State group] detainees are perceived as being mistreated, it will only fuel the narrative propagated by the group and increase Sunni Muslims' grievances and perception of an oppressive and illegitimate Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad."

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - 
A leaflet dropped by Iraqi army planes showing a huge reward for the arrest of the leader of the al-Qaeda organization, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, did not go through a spelling or grammar checker. 
It is clear that the one who printed the reward paper for the arrest of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi could have discovered the errors in the text if she had used a typewriter program, but she did not even think about it, And Arab grammar. " 
With such enormous financial value, at least the level of written language should have been taken seriously, as it reflects the seriousness of dealing with the arrest of the leader of the world's largest terrorist organization. 
According to the publication issued by the International Coalition Forces, which published websites on the Internet, the following texts were published:
"The commander of the preacher and the fighters stole your land and killed your family." 
As it is clear from this line, the author of the text erred in two words, and he had to say, "A commander and his fighters (not a fighter) stole (your land) your land and killed your family." 
The second sentence " Far from death and destruction, far from death and destruction. With your information, you can take revenge on him and destroy him. "He was supposed to be:" He is now safely hiding, "and then far away (not far away) 
and then the phrase" Contact us or (or) Send us a message via Watsab "followed by With Etisalat numbers, then "All secure communications," and he should have said "safe." 
Under Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's picture, the value of the $ 25 million reward is written under the following statement:
"A material equivalent of the information that guides us to arrest him," and the sentence should have started with the word "reward" rather than equivalent. " 
Then the last verse appeared in verse 208 of Surah Al-Baqarah which says" O ye who believe! You are a clear enemy ", and fortunately did not commit the person who printed the publication or wording wrong in the verse.

{International: Euphrates News} The State Department said that the intelligence is trying to identify the authenticity of the video showed the leader of the preacher Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, "noting that" the battle against a dud had not ended. "

"We have been informed of the registration that was published today for al-Baghdadi and our expert analysts will review this registration and we will return to the intelligence agents to verify its authenticity," a foreign ministry spokesman said in a press statement. 
He pointed out that "a crushing defeat on the ground in Iraq and Syria was a strategic and psychological blow, where he saw the preacher of the so-called Caliphate collapse, and their leaders are killed or fleeing the battlefield."

" 
For the first time since 5 years, appeared Baghdadi in a propaganda video published by the extremist organization through its channels on the application of "Tilgram."
The date of the video is not clear, but Baghdadi acknowledges the defeat of his organization in the town of El Bagouz in the countryside of Deir El-Zour, when he says at the beginning that "the battle of the Baguz is over." 
Baghdadi has incited al-Baghdadi fighters, who have suffered successive military defeats over the past two years for "revenge." 
Syria's Democratic forces took full control of the last pocket of the Baguiz in March and defeated it after a battle that lasted weeks.

The last time al-Baghdadi appeared in 2014, after he was able to control the vast areas of Iraq and Syria, which was inhabited by 7 million people. 
Then al-Baghdadi delivered a sermon at the Nuri Mosque in Mosul, during which he announced his alleged succession, which no longer exists. 
The United States has been paying a $ 25 million reward for helping to reach Baghdad's 47-year-old al-Baghdadi, who has traveled from 2014 to many rumors of his death that has not been confirmed.
