Baghdadi is the leader of the extremist organization "Islamic State" and is listed as the "number one terrorist" by most countries in Europe, America and the Middle East. Previously, baghdadi was reported to have been killed or injured several times, but none of them were confirmed.
After the "Islamic State" occupied Mosul, Iraq in 2014, baghdadi announced the establishment of a "caliphate" across Iraq and Syria at the Nuri Mosque in Mosul. In April this year, the "Islamic State" released a video suspected of baghdadi, in which he admitted that the "Islamic State" was frustrated in the Syrian war.
