Iran Confirms Death of ISIL Leader al-Baghdadi

Iran Front Page, “Iran Confirms Death of ISIS Leader al-Baghdadi” 29 June 2017:

An Iranian official has confirmed that the ISIS terrorist group’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is ‘definitely’ dead.

Representative of Iran’s Leader in IRGC Quds Force, Ali Shirazi, said on Thursday ‘the death of this terrorist [al-Baghdadi] is certain’.

Last Thursday, Russia’s deputy foreign minister had declared that it is highly likely al-Baghdadi, the ISIS leader, was killed in a Russian airstrike near Raqqa, Syria, on May 28.

Oleg Syromolotov told Sputnik* the “information is now verified through various channels.”

The remarks are similar to those made June 16 by the Russian Defence Ministry, which said Baghdadi was among more than 300 ISIS militants, including mid-level field commanders, who were killed as a result of Russian airstrikes near Raqqa, the city that serves as the terrorist group’s de-facto capital.

* Sputnik is not in much of a place to confirm anything but Active Measures propaganda. Nevertheless, the story is apparently corroborated by other sources, therefore we’ll presume it to be true.

News Week: The U.S.-backed forces besieging the eastern Syrian city of Raqqa, controlled by the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), captured the last road out of the city on Thursday, a monitoring group confirmed to Newsweek.

Rami Abdelrahman, the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a U.K.-based group with an extensive network of sources on the ground in Syria, said the Arab-Kurdish coalition known as the Syrian Democratic Forces had “completely” encircled the ISIS de facto capital.

“They have besieged ISIS from everywhere. They have nowhere to go out,” he told Newsweek by phone.
