Russia claims it has killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in airstrike

Source: New York Daily News

Russia's military said Friday that it killed the leader of the Islamic State group in an airstrike on a meeting of IS leaders outside of Raqqa, Syria last month.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in the air raid on May 28, along with other senior group commanders, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

A spokesman for the U.S.-led anti-Islamic State coalition said Friday morning that he could not confirm the report.

If confirmed, the takedown would represent a major military achievement for Russia.

That son of a bitch deserved getting blasted into pieces, in spades.

It won't get rid of ISIS completely, but he deserves to get blown up.
