Baghdadi’s possible location narrowed to 4 locations: Iraqi terrorist expert
[Rudaw] Husham al-Hashmi, an Iraqi expert in terrorist and bad boy groups, believes that Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) leader Abu Bakir al-Baghdadi’s whereabouts are likely narrowed to just four places following his first appearance disseminated in nearly five years.

"Iraq since September 2018 through a special cell formed with US Special Operations Command has been monitoring, looking for al-Baghdadi. They have up to now succeeded in eliminating 13 out of 17 possible locations," Hashmi told Rudaw English on Wednesday.

The possible locations could be the deserts of Iraq’s western Anbar, Iraq’s Wadi Houran ‐ a riverbed in Anbar ‐ or in Syria’s east central Homs desert. Additionally, Baghdadi could be heading elsewhere ‐ toward the so-called "Mohammed Peninsula", a term that can be found in Islamic discourse on the Saudi peninsula.
