Iraqi officials and state television were reporting Sunday that airstrikes late Friday did wound Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Al-Baghdadi was “critically wounded” when a U.S.-led air strike targeted the western Iraqi border town of al-Qaim, tribal sources told Al Arabiya News Channel.

The Guardian reported earlier Sunday:

Some claimed that on Sunday, ISIS spokesman Mohammed al-Adnani tweeted: “Do you think the Caliphate would end with the Caliph’s death? We announce leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is in well, and wish him a speedy recovery.”

But others were skeptical, suggesting the account was fake and that the news of injury was a hoax.
