    Previous claims of attacks on Baghdadi

    Previous claims of attacks on Baghdadi
  • The Iraqi military on two occasions had claimed to have injured Baghdadi.

    In November 2014, the Iraqi military claimed that Baghdadi had been wounded in an airstrike in the town of Al-Qaem.

    In March 2015, another such report claimed that Baghdadi had been wounded close to the Syrian border.

    Audio recordings of Baghdadi popped up on social-media each time, within days of the airstrikes.

    Baghdadi considered 'unremarkable'

  • Baghdadi had been captured in 2005 by the US during their occupation of Iraq, and was held at Camp Bacca in southern Iraq. He was confined in Compound 14 with other Sunni extremists and was considered largely "unremarkable".

    The US military declined to comment on the report.

    Baghdadi's current location is unknown.

  • Do you know?

    The price on Baghdadi's head

    In June 2016, reports suggested that Baghdadi was killed in an air-strike by US forces; however, this was disproved and his whereabouts remained unknown since.

    According to media reports, an assassin poisoned the meals prepared for Baghdadi and three other commanders of ISIS at the Be'aaj district in northern Iraq's Nineveh province.
