Video of ISIS leader Baghdadi injured in Mosul aired by Balad TV
2014-11-14

[Iraq News] The video below, broadcast on Balad TV, claims to show ISIS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
 and his convoy being attacked in an Arclight airstrike that led to his injury or death.

The video claims to show al-Baghdadi next to a black SUV car, suffering injuries due to the Arclight airstrike.

In the beginning, Baghdadi appears to be lying on the ground, groaning in pain while one of his aides is lying dead beside him. Baghdadi moves slightly before ISIS elements hurry to rescue him.

The injured, who Balad TV claims is al-Baghdadi, is dressed in a military uniform and is said to be wearing a watch on his right hand which appears similar to the one he wore during his sermon at djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
. IraqiNews.com has not independently verified these claims.

A front man for the Central Command of the US Army, Col. Patrick Raider, said two days ago that warplanes of the international coalition targeted ISIS leaders who were meeting near Mosul and that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may have been among those who were targeted.

According to officials from the United States, US air raids managed to destroy a convoy of 10 cars belonging to the organization of the 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....
; they were traveling in a convoy near the city of Mosul in northern Iraq.

#9  Let me rewrite that.

1,000 young women are fighting toe to toe against ISIS in Kobane, Syria alone.

Islam has created this hatred and thereby have created a new young generation of fierce enemies in the Middle East that will be around for decades.

#3  Someone duped the news hounds. This is an old video that has been around for quite some time. If you've seen the entire thing it show a bunch of booger eaters standing near an SUV. A round hits (likely a 82mm mortar) and one booger eater takes frag in brain pan. The booger eater next him (mis ID'd as ABAB in this report) falls down wounded. Not ABAB - old video.

Me thinks the the weapons that hit ABAB's (shit be upon him) convoy were ..um slightly bigger than 82mm.
