Baghdadi was in the convoy when it was hit. There are reports all over about his fate, but we are hearing that he was injured and hearing it, and seeing it on social media, but it is impossible to verify if he was in fact injured or kill canned, but there are reports that he was both injured and killed. And the pentagon cant confirm anything, and they cant confirm that he was present and let alone wounded. Killing him or injured him would be a major coupe for the u. S.

And they have continued to fight in kobani, and that fight has been going on there for longerr than two months. U. S. Warplanes are pounding the isis fighters there in an effort to drive the insurgents out of kobani, and a Human Rights Group says that in the last two months in kobani alone, most ly the militants have been killed in the fighting there, and

The concern is the same french isis group that he met with in turkey is the same group that directed an algerian living in france to attack a church in april this year. That attack was thwarted but not before he killed somebody else. So this group has a track record and they seem to have directed this man to attack from the train.
