About a week ago I wrote about the report coming out of Iraq that the leader of ISIS , al-Baghdadi, had been badly wounded…..(in case you need a refresher)……..

I said then that it was still not confirmed and could possibly just be a propaganda ploy by the Iraqis…..I could remember back a few years ago a senior Taleban leader had been reported killed about 4 times before the confirmation was released…….just did not want to pass on faulty information.

It appears that the UK’s Guardian has a report……..

The leader of the Islamic State (Isis), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi remains incapacitated due to suspected spinal damage and is being treated by two doctors who travel to his hideout from the group’s stronghold of Mosul, the Guardian has learned.

Details of Baghdadi’s condition, and of the physicians treating him, have emerged since the Guardian revealed he had been seriously wounded on 18 March in an air strike that killed three men he was travelling with. The attack took place in al-Baaj, 80 miles (128km) west of Mosul.

Only a small clique of Isis leaders know the extent of Baghdadi’s injuries, or where he is being treated. Fewer still have visited him. However, word of his wounds has started to spread to the group’s second-tier leadership, where talk is rife of avenging the most serious blow to Isis since the group overran half of Iraq.

If this is true….how will if effect the fighting capability of ISIS?

Could leadership explain the losses suffered by the group in the last couple of months?

Could this be the beginning of the end for ISIS?
