The Iraqi air force struck a convoy of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in western Anbar province close to the Syrian border on Sunday, a military statement said.

The fate of the militant leader, who has declared himself the leader of a Caliphate in areas it controls in Iraq and Syria, is still unknown, the statement said.

"Iraqi air forces have bombed the convoy of the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while he was heading to Karabla to attend a meeting with Daesh commanders", the statement read, using the Arabic acronym for Islamic State.

[Bedameister]

I hope it was successful.

 

[Betty]

Hopefully he got got.

 

[Gunztrix]

Good. Maybe this will reestablish hope in the people of Iraq.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Please be true. Would be such a great victory for the Iraqi people

 

[jchap]

Hope it vaporized him

[OmegaTreeFish]

Hope it vaporized him

A body can do that, vaporize?

 

[Premium Quality]

Hope it's true.

 

[Frog-fu]

Hope this is true.

Hope it vaporized him

Naw, the instant release of death is too sweet for this monster. I hope he survived long enough to suffer a fraction of the pain he has inflicted and to realise it's over.

 

[RumblingRosco]

A body can do that, vaporize?

Ever see the shadows on the walls in Nagasaki and Hiroshima?

 

[Roi]

Don't worry, probably a more evil man will take his place.

 

[davepoobond]

Ever heard of spontaneous internal combustion? You can spontaneously externally combust, too.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

A body can do that, vaporize?

With enough heat.

 

[| Praxis |]

They should have used napalm on the bastard.

The Rock quotes people.

 

[ninjabat]

Hopefully this slows them down.

 

[DrM]

we can hope that it wasn't another of his 'doubles' which these men are using all the time

 

[D4Danger]

fingers crossed he died a slow, miserable death

 

[Tarkus]

They bombed the meeting location too, claiming to have killed several leaders.

 

[DarthWoo]

They should have used napalm on the bastard.





The Rock quotes people.

I got it, but to be fair, the quote is actually "What? Vaporized? A body can vaporize?"

 

[Braag]

I really hope they got him

 

[Nikodemos]

I hope they got <everyone.gif>

Especially his lieutenants. While the great leader is the one inspiring the masses, it's the various XOs who know the ins and outs of boring but vital daily ops.

 

[Liha]

I hope he burns in hell.

 

[FStubbs]

Hope he's gone.

 

[water_wendi]

*fingers crossed*

 

[ultratruman]

This would be a great success story for the Iraqi military.

 

[diamount]

Hope it vaporized him

You don't hope he burnt alive?

 

[adversesolutions]

get im

 

[Dai Kaiju]

Oh jeez...

 

[NYCmetsfan]

This story is reported ever few months...

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

The Rock quotes people.

It's what I was going for.

I got it, but to be fair, the quote is actually "What? Vaporized? A body can vaporize?"

I'm to lazy to Google the 'proper quote.. Still I got what I was after

 

[ZiZ]

cut off one head and two more will grow in its place. if we're lucky those two heads will go for each others throats.

 

[Condom]

This story is reported ever few months...

Yup.

The real causes of extremism and hate are things you can't bomb.

Ugh.

I got you.

 

[andythinkpad]

I don't want to sound like a dick but 1) Iraq has an air force? and 2) has any fighter plane been captured by ISIS?

Ugh.

Damn it.

 

[Valhelm]

Good. Maybe this will reestablish hope in the people of Iraq.

"Iraq" as we know it is dead and will never come back. The western, Sunni region of that country will likely never again be under the control of the majority Shia population.

 

[XenogearsX]

Hope he's dead but hes a pretty elusive guy and seems to have a lot of luck avoiding these types of things. Doesn't seem safe for him to be in a convoy either, seems like that would give his location away easily

 

[Any Questions]

The whole mess is a disaster. Fingers crossed something can grow from this if true.

 

[Stereogatari]

This is like the 20th time I've heard this in the past year.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

This is like the 20th time I've heard this in the past year.

Yeah,I hear about him getting killed evrey other month or so.

 

[m_shortpants]

Yeah,I hear about him getting killed evrey other month or so.

He's the new Bin Laden. A boogeyman almost.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

dude travels alone hidden from this type of attack

 

[Blader]

Al-Zarqawi and of course Bin Laden were the same way. These fuckers have like nine lives.

Ugh.

But still, some ISIS leaders were among them, so it's not all a loss.
