Al-Baghdadi has been reported killed or maimed on a number of occasions.
Last month, Baghdadi was reported to be "clinically dead" after an Iraqi Arclight airstrike targeted him during a meeting with a host of IS leaders in Syria in June.
No reports about al-Baghdadi have been heard since September 2017, when he urged supporters to wage attacks against the West and keep fighting in Syria and neighboring Iraq.
Baghdadi emerged as leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, one of the groups that later became Islamic State, in 2010. In October 2011, the US officially designated al-Baghdadi as a terrorist. It has offered a reward of up to $25m (£19.6m) for information leading to his capture or death.

The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in its latest report stated that 1,692 non-combatants were killed in the first six months of 2018.

"The combined use of suicide and non-suicide IEDs caused nearly half of all civilian casualties. Continuing trends first documented last year by UNAMA, the majority of IED casualties were caused by suicide and complex attacks, which again were responsible for record high civilian casualties, resulting in 1,413 civilian casualties (427 deaths and 986 injured), a 22 per cent increase," UNAMA said.

[PRESSTV] An Egyptian criminal court has sentenced the Supreme Guide of the now-outlawed Moslem Brüderbund and 65 others members of the movement to life in prison over charges of incitement to murder and violence during demonstrations five years ago.
On Sunday, 75-year-old Badie was convicted to life in prison over allegedly inciting members of the banned movement to attack Maghagha cop shoppe in the southern Egyptian province of Minya and killing a police officer in August 2013.
The attack came shortly after Egyptian security forces launched violent attacks on protest camps at Rabaa al-Adawiya Square in the capital, Cairo, and Nahda Square in Giza, the third largest city in Egypt.
Human Rights Watch said at the time more than 815 people had been killed only at Rabaa Square, whereas the Egyptian Health Ministry put the corpse count at 638. The rights organization later said that the massacre had been one of the world’s largest in a single day in recent history.
An absolute majority of those killed were followers of Mohammed Morsi, Egypt’s first democratically-elected president, who was ousted on July 3 the same year in a military coup led by then head of the armed forces and current President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
According to defense lawyer Abdel Moneim Abdel Maqsood, around 700 people were tried again in this case. He said that 65 other members of the Brotherhood had also been sentenced to life in prison on Sunday, adding that 288 were acquitted, six have died since the first trial and the rest were sentenced to between three and 15 years in prison.
The sentence is the latest among a series of trials and re-trials against the Supreme Guide of Egypt's Moslem Brüderbund Mohammed Badie and other big shots of the Islamist group that ruled Egypt before Islamist president Mohammed Morsi was ousted following massive protests.
The court had previously sentenced Badie to death 2014 in this case, but an appeals hearing had overturned the verdict and ordered a retrial.
Another 81 defendants were sentenced to between 10-15 years in prison and dozens of others were handed shorter jail terms. The court acquitted 288 other defendants in the same case.
Last month, Badie and other senior Brotherhood leaders were sentenced to life in prison over similar charges in a separate case.
In July, a court referred the cases of Badie and other Brotherhood leaders in a separate case to Egypt’s top Moslem religious authority, the Mufti, for his opinion on whether they should be sentenced to death.

[DAWN] Security forces on Saturday claimed to have foiled a terrorism bid in Bajaur tribal district by killing two terrorists, including one would-be jacket wallah, during an intelligence-based operation in Mamond tehsil.
Security sources said that both terrorists, including a deputy operational ’commander’ of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... Bajaur chapter, were killed during a special operation conducted in the hilly Gat Agra area
The sources stated that the operation was conducted following the information that the gunnies were attempting to carry out terrorism activities in the region. Soon after receiving the information, a contingent of security forces was dispatched to the area which killed the gunnies before they carried out their activities.
They claimed that the dear departed deputy operational commander of the TTP Bajaur, who was wearing a suicide jacket, was among the most wanted holy warriors in the district. He said the krazed killer commander had been involved in many terrorist activities in the region, including kabooms.
The sources pointed out that the dead krazed killer commander was also involved in collection of extortion from locals on behalf of the TTP Bajaur.
A number of materials, including three 9 mm pistols, 30 rounds of 9 mm pistol, one torch and one mobile set, were recovered from the bodies of terrorists.
The sources didn’t name the killed terrorists, but claimed that they were on terrorism mission, saying they could have caused huge destruction in the area if the action was not taken immediately.

[IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian man was killed and at least 90 maimed in protests near the Gazoo Strip border, the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-run Gazoo health ministry said Monday evening.
It said at least 10 were maimed by live fire, and that one was at death's door.
Meanwhile nine fires erupted Monday near Israeli communities in the Gazoo periphery. All were caused by incendiary balloons flown over the border by Paleostinians.
[IsraelTimes] Gazoo official blames impasse on rival Paleostinian Authority; one killed as 1,000 Paleostinians gather along border for night time riot, clashing with IDF soldiers
Gazoo’s Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", rulers said on Sunday that their indirect negotiations to reach a long-term ceasefire agreement with Israel have halted and vowed to step up the violent protests along the border.
Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri ...a senior spokesman for Hamas. Zuhri gained notoriety in 2006 when he dropped his money belt containing somewhere between 640,000 and 900,000 euros, which was confiscated by Paleostinian security and customs officials at a routine border crossing from Egypt to Gaza. The news brought competing Hamas and Fatah forces to the crossing checkpoint for an epic face-making and hollering contest... blamed the impasse on the West Bank-based Paleostinian Authority, which has voiced its strong opposition to the Egypt-brokered talks.
Abu Zuhri said that in response, the Gazoo-based terrorist group was escalating its protests in new locations along Gazoo’s borders with Israel.
In the wake of the announcement, more than a thousand Gazooks gathered at the border for a rare night-time protest, burning tires and clashing with IDF troops. The Hamas-run Gazoo Health Ministry said one person was killed and 11 injured by IDF fire.
The ministry said Imad Ishtawi, 21, was shot in the head.
The IDF said it had spotted a cell about to launch fire balloons into Israel and targeted them with fire from an aircraft. The air force usually fires warning shots at the balloon cells.
On Sunday, nine fires broke out in southern Israel as a result of the arson balloons. On Friday and Saturday, thirteen fires were reported in the areas adjacent to the Gazoo Strip. In response to each attack, IDF aircraft fired at cells of Gazooks as they launched the devices towards Israel.
The weekend also saw thousands of Gazooks demonstrate at the border. On Friday, one Paleostinian was reported killed by the Hamas ministry and at least 312 were maimed as some 10,000 Paleostinians protested on the Gazoo Strip border, with some throwing bombs, rocks, and burning tires, as soldiers responded with tear gas and occasional live fire.
One Israeli soldier was lightly injured by shrapnel from a pipe bomb thrown at troops, the army said, adding that it spotted a number of infiltration attempts.
Hamas had been indirectly negotiating with Israel through Egyptian and UN mediators to pacify the tense border in exchange for easing restrictions on Gazoo. But the efforts floundered as differences compounded between Hamas and its West Bank rival Fatah, who opposed the deal.
Hamas and Fatah, the party lead by PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... , have been deeply divided for more than a decade. Hamas seized control of Gazoo from the Fatah-dominated Paleostinian Authority in 2007 and several attempts at intra-Paleostinian reconciliation since then have failed.
The PA government was pressuring Hamas to reach a reconciliation deal that would return Fatah rule to Gazoo, and earlier this year began to scale back electricity payments and other financial support in an effort to force Hamas to cede ground in Gazoo.
Abbas demanded that Hamas hand over complete control of Gazoo to the PA, and had warned against any ceasefire deal that did not include the Ramallah government.
Hamas has stepped up violence in recent months in an attempt to get concessions from Israel and the PA.

[Ynet] Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Monday that Moscow will supply an S-300 anti-missile system to Syria within two weeks, following the downing of the Ilyushin IL-20 by the Syrian forces, who tried to repel an IAF attack.
The anti-aircraft unit will reportedly be equipped with Russian tracking and guidance systems, and is intended to "calm down some hotheads" whose actions "pose a threat to our troops," according to Shoigu. To paraphrase Miles Vorkosigan, "Are you challenging our ingenuity, Ivan?"

Oh s**t! This is the first meaningful attack on Iran by ISIS. There are three million ethnic Arabs in the Ahvaz region. Expect a massive crackdown and from it the creation of just the sort of political environment the will help groups like ISIS take root.http://t.co/kyLi3opgvb

I don't buy it.
"The four assailants were hiding at a park adjacent to the parade grounds, wearing military uniforms"
"Brigadier General Sharif noted that the regular army rather than the elite Revolutionary Guard had been in charge of organising the parade. The Guard has sought to increase its power over the country’s institutions."
Competing institutions, I think. Green on Green.
