ISIL vows to ‘fight back against Europe’ over Baghdadi’s injuries
ISIL Takfiri terrorists have vowed to take revenge for their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who sustained serious injuries in an airstrike, a report says.
“They are planning to fight back against Europe. They want to take revenge for Baghdadi,” a member of the terrorist group was quoted in a Daily Mail Saturday report as saying.
Abu Alaa al-Afri is currently leading the terrorist group as Baghdadi is still incapacitated by a possible spinal injury, which may prevent him from ever leading ISIL, the report said.
Afri "has begun to head up Daesh (ISIL) with the help of officials responsible for other portfolios,” said Hisham al-Hashimi, an Iraqi government adviser, adding, “He will be the leader of Daesh if Baghdadi dies.”
Baghdadi sustained the injuries during a US-led coalition attack while he was travelling in a three-car convoy on March 18 in Nineveh, Iraq, the report said.
Northern and western parts of Iraq have been in chaos since ISIL started a campaign of terror in early June 2014.
The Iraqi army has been joined by Kurdish forces as well as Shia and Sunni volunteers in operations to drive the terrorists out of the areas they have seized with the recapture of the northern city of Tikrit being their most significant recent achievement.
