CAIRO (Sputnik) – Abu Bakr Baghdadi, the leader of the Daesh terror group (outlawed in Russia), is likely to be alive and is currently hiding on the outskirts of the Syrian city of Raqqa, Abu Ali Basri, the head of the intelligence and counterterrorism department of the Iraqi Interior Ministry, said Sunday.
“He is hiding in Syria, to be precise outside Raqqa,” Basri said, as quoted by the Al Arabiya broadcaster.
Basri pointed out that the Iraqi security services are interested in persecution of Baghdadi and his followers more than anyone else.
These leaders mean basically f*ck all. Way too much attention is devoted to their alleged terminations. Daesh is an amorphous
terror grouping and not some modern state where a leader represents a power faction. The Daesh leaders are a dime a dozen and
will sprout one after another as the previous one gets offed.
The important thing is that we are seeing Daesh collapse in Syria.
Thank Russia for saving Syria's government and forces from oblivion.
Sulaimania, IRAQ (Reuters) - A top Kurdish counter-terrorism official said on Monday he was 99 percent sure that Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was alive and located south of the Syrian city of Raqqa, after reports that he had been killed.
"Baghdadi is definitely alive. He is not dead. We have information that he is alive. We believe 99 percent he is alive," Lahur Talabany told Reuters in an interview.

"Don't forget his roots go back to al Qaeda days in Iraq. He was hiding from security services. He knows what he is doing."
Iraqi security forces have ended three years of Islamic State rule in the Iraqi city of Mosul, and the group is under growing pressure in Raqqa - both strongholds in the militants' crumbling self-proclaimed caliphate.

Looks like they are still keeping everyone guessing on the prime route to Deir, even I, an armchair general of no particular skill, can see three.

One example of intoxication reversed by the facts this weekend
LoL in your head the SAA must have more men than they do and I guess the fact all their past attempts to break ISIS lines via Hama have failed but hey yeah "intoxication" alright.
Run along armchair general, because you once again have shown you know shit.
I mean gee...I wonder why the SAA forces are advancing along the Raf road....if I am "intoxicated". Hm....guess the SAA army is intoxicated also then~
Cause they are advancing EXACTLY how I said.
what a clown~
and what facts....do you know how to read a map....After they took Resafa they have been advancing down along that road ever since and all their gains are in those positions.
Oh let me be clear here because you cannot understand English!.
You see there is a road that attaches Resafa to sukan, the SAA are advancing down along this road to prevent ISis from getting supplies in Eastern Hama and if you called that "intoxication" you have something wrong with you mentally.
Which is your rank in the US forces exactly, Senior Shoe Shiner? You are not able to smell what is under your nose. You are not able to smell still the Russian/Syrian strategy.
So funny to see.

IS propaganda aside (that ambush was just a small incident in a huge theater), SAA is expanding their turf south, south-east and east of Resafa. IS has done nothing to counter that. And that's the area where all their oil cash comes from. Deir Ezzor is very close right now and IS has over four open fronts to cover, with whatever manpower they have left.
The Tigers may be in this deeper than they announce.
Gory IS propaganda vs a random SAA squad is probably a symptom of them getting smacked on the battlefield.

The SDF announcement on backing off in Raqqa (if confirmed) turning it more into a siege could be due to an entirely different reason than that given of casualties, redeployment.
Maybe the US needs to urgently move SDF troops south and south east to head off the SAA now, given the apparent SAA progress, rather than wait till Raqqa has fallen.
Watch out for SDF moves along both banks of the Euphrates.

But looks like there were just 8 KIA acc to all sources, other ones got away. SAA position is close, must be that they have helped.
Here is the video of SAA from same place, must be from other position.
RIP to all the SAA Soilders.
They should not be going into or near Deir Ezzor without Air support. The VKS need to be pounding the shit out of the asshole terrorists in the Deir Ezzor and surrounding areas.

That would be perfect time for Turks to make their move in Afrin, maybe even in the west.

US heard that al-Baghdadi was still alive so he needs to be rescued for continued mischief and chaos!

you know it's quite funny to me. you can see the SAA is advancing down the Refasa road and I am "wrong".
All their past attempts to break ISIS in hama from a front have failed yet I am wrong.
but hey I guess an arm chair generals knows better than people from the front.

No, I will not be who enlight the Senior Shoe Shiner of the US forces about what is happening.
Russia and Syria are doing a good job fooling you
It is obvious that under your bids to intoxicate, you still see not what is coming. Well, well, you will enjoy it.

I would normally treat a comment like this with the contempt it deserves but as you are clearly delusional which is strange given some of the really good posts you put up elsewhere so surely understand the situation more than you say.eehnie wrote:

I am not sure how the Russians/Syrians can fool the US, by fool I assume you mean hide an intention or act, when, with the INTEL assets they have in place, it is likely that they know if a SAA asset moves more than 10 feet. By INTEL asset I mean mainly hardware like satellites, various radar, other sensor and camera fitted manned and unmanned aircraft, as well as as probable SF ground operatives. Bear in mind that knowing about something and having the ability to react to that knowledge are two different things.
I would place good money on Seig having a much better overview than any of us who are reliant on scraps from the Internet. Whether and how much he will enjoy it is in the hands of two armies of mainly 'arab' type people who, apart from limited numbers in elite units, are not particularly high quality and unpredictable politicians.
Also I suspect that it is probably a while since he cleaned is own boots, let alone anyone else's.
