Iraqi military has discovered a place of stay of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the reclusive leader of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, commander of the Iraqi Golden Division, Major-General Fadhil Jalil al-Barwari, said in an interview with the Niqash information website.
“Ten years ago, we detained al-Baghdadi, so we have enough information about him to track him,” al-Barwari said. “We believe he is now in Biaj, west of Mosul, hiding in an underground bunker. He changes his location all the time, and he also changes his appearance.”
The Major-General also told how the offensive on Mosul is going. According to him, Iraqi troops have already found 2,330 bodies of IS terrorists, captured many tanks and ammunition. However, they still have not managed to completely block the city, and militants can freely go in and out of it. As al-Barwari noted, one of the key problems is the presence of a large number of civilian population in Mosul that slows down the offensive.
Despite statements of al-Barwari, reports show that for less than a month of the fighting on the outskirts of Mosul, where local population is loyal to the government coalition, more than 3,000 Iraqi soldiers were killed and wounded, while at least 22 tanks and more than 120 pieces of light armored vehicles were destroyed.

Dear sir I have to admit that was brilliant video work. You should go commercial, I can assure you this time next year you will be a millionaire. I understand you might not have necessary funding at the moment but don’t despair, this is your lucky day. I happen to be in a possession of one lovely bridge in NY. Timeless piece of architecture and since it is positioned between Manhattan and Brooklyn it offers enormous commercial possibilities. Due to your brilliant intelligence and ability to recognize the truth I am ready to sell it to you for very generous price. Think of all the money you could make from tolls. You could certainly use it to pimp up your future video works. It is on the sale today only.
Where is this Biaj? Is it in the area that the irqis have surrounded?
If al Baghdadi gets captured or killed in the last month of the Obama presidency, then the entire ISIS stuff is a US creation – it would be like the bin Laden assassination: a staged show for political gain – as there was no reason to capture or kill him earlier if they know so well where he is and moves.
Looks like Obama’s exercise in terrorism may in fact crumble in the last month. I that is so, then you understand the Russia bashing re elections: to divert attention from this “secret information” and to avert prosecution of Obama for war crimes and crimes against humanity and genocide: having created ISIS purely to prolong the war on terror and to destroy Libya and Syria and Yemen.
It always eventually all comes out in the wash.
