Report says , Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi 'seriously wounded in an air strike' and suffered serious injuries .It was during an attack by the US-led coalition.
Baghdadi’s wounding led to urgent meetings of IS leaders, who initially believed he would die and made plans to name a new leader. There had been two previous reports in November and December of Baghdadi being wounded, though neither was accurate.Since Baghdadi’s wounding, IS’s military and Shura councils have become increasingly prominent in decision-making, the source close to the organisation revealed.
