SO THEY DID NAIL HIM AFTER ALL!

Very worrisome. Especially so since this comes at a time when the Europe Union is seeking to transport everyone and their brother across the Mediterranean and into Europe regardless of the warnings.

- Group’s leader is said to be ‘incapacitated’ due to a possible spinal injury
Islamic State fighters are planning to take revenge after their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was seriously injured in an air strike, insiders have claimed.
He was wounded in an attack from the US-led coalition while travelling in a three-car convoy in March in Nineveh, Iraq, it is claimed.
He is said to no longer be in control of the terrorist group, and it is claimed Isis is planning to ‘fight back against Europe’.
According to The Guardian, Baghdadi is still incapacitated due to a possible spinal injury and has not resumed command.
Sources told the paper his injuries may mean he will never be able to lead Isis again, and it is now being led by senior official and deputy leader, Abu Alaa al-Afri.
One Isis member said: ‘They are planning to fight back against Europe. They want to take revenge for Baghdadi.’
Last year there were two reports that Baghdadi had been wounded, but they turned out to be inaccurate.
He escaped death in December when US jets attacked a two-car convoy on the outskirts of Mosul.
His close aide Auf Abdul Rahman al-Efery was killed when a rocket fired from a war plane hit one of the cars.
Baghdadi was believed to be in the second car, which was not hit.
Figures from February showed allied airstrikes, including those carried out by British warplanes, had killed more than 6,000 fighters since September.
