Islamic State’s Baghdadi returns to Iraq, likely to be in western desert: Source
2018-07-03
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) 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....
’s supreme leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...the head of ISIS, or what remains of it, and a veteran of the Abu Graib jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us. So far he has been killed at least four times, though not yet by a stake through the heart...
has returned back to Iraq, an informed security source said adding that he is likely to be in the western desert.

Speaking to the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper, the source said "Baghdadi moved to Syria before end of the liberation battles in Nineveh. He settled to Raqqa in Syria, before moving to Qaim in Iraq."

The Iraqi intelligence, according to the source, who preferred anonymity, "receives information about places to which Baghdadi heads. However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
his exact location is not identified."

Baghdadi "moved to Syria once again before liberating Qaim then returned back to western Iraq in the wake of heated battles in Syria and losing most of the cities that the group was controling."

The source also added that "Baghdadi cannot move freely between the two countries like he used to."

Both Iraqi and U.S.-led Coalition jets "tried to target him more than once, without locating his place well," the source said. "The Iraqi intelligence located the house, where Baghdadi supposedly existed in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, and carried out an Arclight airstrike but it was revealed later that the house was for camouflage."

The Russian agency Sputnik quoted, in January, several experts in Islamist groups affairs as saying that Baghdadi is likely to be in Africa, being the safest place at the meantime for the bully boy group.
