Isis deputy leader 'killed in air strike' by Iraqi forces | The Independent
I wouldn't believe one word of an Iraqi army announcement unless the information can be verified by some other more reliable organization...or, of course, by Sayyid Qutb himself...

OK, fair enough. Let me know when you are comfortable with this news. I never believe the news all the time either, but felt the Independent was a half way decent source.

Or do you think Wikipedia is totally unreliable as well?
The Independent may be quoting an Iraqi army source...Quote:

Intertesting. It comes up for me. I am not able to copy the title or text and that is why I just copied the link. I am on my tablet and will try another way.

It seems to be a link for an app. I'm using a computer. But never mind. What's the title of the article?
ISIS LEADER BAGHDADI CLOSE TO BEING CAPTURED OR KILLED
The conclusions of the Iraqi army after a recent battle with ISIS militants in a town Tel Afar, 63 miles from Mosul. Far from conclusive, but as I said, it would be big if it all comes to fruition.
Cheers, Rick. Here's another link.
Report: ISIS leader Baghdadi close to being 'captured or killed' - Middle East - Jerusalem Post
Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, leader of the infamous militant terror organization Islamic State, is reportedly under siege and is close to being either captured or killed, according to Russian news agency RIA Novosti citing Iraqi military sources Sunday.
The Iraqi Army is basing its conclusion on a military assessment following a recent battle it held with ISIS militants in the city of Tel Afar, located just 63KM from Mosul.
It was only two-weeks ago that ISIS gunmen arrived to the city with tanks and jeeps, ready to prevent Iraqi forces from launching an offensive on the territory. Iraqi military sources think that the effort was an indication that senior ISIS leaders were in the area, and the battle was designed to buy time for them to escape.
The Iraqi Army believes that al-Baghdadi was among those in Tal Afar.
Yes, that is it Neverna and I hope it comes true even though there are others that can take his place.
'tis devoutly to be wished, though these are particularly dicey sources...Quote:

They should get all the women who have been freed from ISIS sex-slavery to form two lines and alternately spit in his face and kick him in the nuts.
^ Maybe they can call him bad names too.

Monitoring group says they were executed near hole which was 'filled with blood'
The terror group carried out mass execution in the al-Mayadin desert, near the strategic city of Deir Ezzor, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
It said its activists were "able to monitor the execution and see the bodies".

The report said 33 people aged 18 to 25 were "slaughtered by sharp tools" near a hole dug by the militants, which was "filled with blood".
The Observatory said it was unknown whether those executed were Syrian government forces, allied militia or rebel fighters.
US President Donald Trump has said the United States and its allies will destroy Isis and "protect civilization."
"We will destroy Isis and we will protect civilization. We have no choice," Mr Trump said at a joint White House news conference with Jordan's King Abdullah.
He said the king has been a leader in the fight to defeat Isis "once and for all".
The military campaign against the group has been building slowly. More cities have been recaptured from the militants, and Isis has lost large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria.
However, the two biggest, climactic battles – to retake Mosul in Iraq, and Raqqa in Syria – have not been completed.
Last year Iraqi military forces, supported by the coalition, waged successful battles to oust Isis from a string of cities in the run-up to the Mosul fight.
Those included battles to take back eastern Mosul and the Iraq cities of Fallujah, Ramadi, and a number of smaller towns along the Tigris River. Backed by the coalition, the Iraqis were also able to defeat Isis at Makhmour and Qayyarah, enabling the military to establish bases at both locations and use them as logistical hubs for the battle to retake Mosul.
However, no major cities have been retaken in the last six weeks.
In February, Iraqi forces launched what is expected to be the last major battle against Isis in Iraq — the campaign to retake western Mosul.
Success has been slower in Syria, where the US initially struggled to find a qualified cadre of local fighters to advise and train.
Mr Trump is celebrated significant progress in recent weeks, as the US deployed hundreds more troops into Syria to help prepare local forces to retake Raqqa.

Two senior ISIS leaders killed in Iraqi attack
ARA News
Iraqi Security Forces on Sunday attacked ISIS security headquarters in the districts of Baaj and Tel Afar, killing two of the group’s most prominent jihadists.
In Baaj, the US-backed Iraqi forces hit an Islamic State’s (ISIS) security office with heavy weapons.
Ghanim Salim al-Jahishi, the ISIS security leader of Baaj, was confirmed dead during the offensive.
In Tel Afar, the Iraqi Security Forces raided a building and killed at least five ISIS members, including the group’s Emir of Tel Afar Kanaan Baris.
“The Iraqi troops launched these strategic simultaneous attacks to hunt these two security leaders of ISIS,” the head of Nineveh media centre Raafat al-Zarari told ARA News.
“The death of al-Jahishi and Baris came as a heavy blow to ISIS,” he said. “I believe that ISIS will face a serious challenge while trying to replace such key leaders.”
