All-Baghdadi ruthlessly ordered Abu Abdullah be killed along with this wife and three children at a house to the west of the city in December 2016.

The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in the march said “nearly all” Baghdadi’s deputies had been killed as Isis’s territory was squeezed in both Syria and Iraq. He said it was “only a matter of time before Baghdadi himself meets this same fate”

Baghdadi, guarded in his youth is the world’s most wanted man, who rose through the ranks silently and patiently to become global jihad’s unchallenged head. The head of the ISIS terrorist group has been careful to reveal little about himself and his whereabouts. The ISIS chief

also is famous to wear a mask to address his followers, earning himself the nickname of “the invisible sheikh”.

Repeatedly multiple previous unverified reports of his death have always been there in the news headlines. In mid-June, a doctored online statement claimed to be from Isis’s Amaq news agency purporting Baghdadi had been killed in a US air strike.
