To the left is Baghdadi while at a USA military prison Camp Bucca, Iraq. You know a POW.
Take a good look, if he is hiding in plain sight as bin Laden was, he might be caught. Then again, maybe he has taken to the Pakistani tribal area. Or, he could be in Europe after he fled from Greece via Turkey to the islands of Kos, Chios, Lesvos and Samo.
He can be no value to Hezbollah. They should secure him and hand him to the Hague.
Beirut (Reuters) - A Hezbollah-run media unit (click here) said on Friday Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was reported to have been in the Syrian town of Albu Kamal during the Syrian army and its allies’ operation to clear it.
The military unit did not say what had happened to Baghdadi, give further details or identify its sources.
The U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State said on Friday it had no “releasable information” on Baghdadi’s whereabouts.
Syria’s army declared victory over Islamic State on Thursday, saying its capture of the jihadists’ last town in the country marked the collapse of their three-year rule in the region.
But the army and its allies are still fighting Islamic State in desert areas close to Albu Kamal near the border with Iraq, the Syrian army said on Thursday.
On Friday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Islamic State has taken back control of half of Albu Kamal.
The capture of the border town had sealed “the fall of the terrorist Daesh organization’s project in the region”, an army statement said on Thursday, using the Arabic acronym for Islamic State.
