Russian Military Says It Might Have Killed ISIS Leader

**Norton** · 16-06-2017, 04:11 PM

MOSCOW — Russia’s military said on Friday that it is looking into whether a Russian airstrike in the Syrian desert killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-declared caliph of the Islamic State, in what would be a major military achievement for Russia.

In a statement issued to Russian news agencies, the Defense Ministry said that the Russian Air Force struck a meeting of Islamic State leaders on May 28 outside the city of Raqqa, Syria, the group’s de facto capital, possibly killing Mr. Baghdadi, one of the world’s most wanted terrorists.

The statement, however, was written cautiously, suggesting that the Russian military remained uncertain about whether the strike had killed Mr. Baghdadi, a prize sought by several countries in the long struggle against the Islamic State.

“According to information which we are checking through various channels, the leader of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was at the meeting and the strike destroyed him,” the statement said.

Which puppet, the puppet of Saudi or the puppet of Qatar.

Puppet of Saudi, he was key to their pipeline. Qatar backed the other lot hence they are now persona non grata.

al-Baghdadi has been elusive.

If they got him, may peace be on him.

WINNING THE WAR ON ISIS: RUSSIA AND U.S. MAY HAVE KILLED TOP ISLAMIC STATE LEADERS

A U.S. confirmation on Friday that the Islamic State militant group’s media head in Afghanistan had been killed coincided with unverified Russian reports that ISIS’s global leader is also dead.

This gentleman has allegedly been killed many times previously. Each time somebody has confirmed his identity. Are the Russian ID kits better than the ameristani ones?

There are many lookalikes residing in Pattaya as we read here. Many ex "special agents" all with multiple ID's, large bank accounts and passports.

Thank you for clarifying that, today I attended one of those Thai wife gatherings at a friends house and all the husbands where present as well. So I'm listening to this chap talking about his father was a test pilot in the RAF and he was in Saudi training their pilots to fly the Hunter. He said his father maintained all his life that Arabs hate Christians and Jews but they hate Arabs even more.

A lot of interesting Farang are married to Thai ladies.

A lot of expat farangs do have interesting tales too tell, worldwide. It could be all the reading they do whilst their brown chappies harvest the nuts, rubber, sugar cane etc.
