Iraqi Intelligence Claims IS Leader al-Baghdadi “Paralyzed”
ERBIL — A senior commander for Iraq’s Intelligence Service claimed that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the top leader of the Islamic State (IS), has suffered a crippling spinal injury and he is unable to walk.
In an interview with Iraqi al-Sabah newspaper, Commander of Hawk Unit of the Iraqi intelligence, Abu Ali Basari, said al-Baghdadi was severely injured in an airstrike in Syria during 2018.
He explained that the IS leader survived the airstrike which was carried out by the Iraqi air force, but the injuries paralyzed him with no ability to walk.
How could he run down a tunnel if he was paralyzed?
