WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Baghdadi may have been injured during an Iraqi Air Force airstrike in the city of Qaim on February 9, the Alhurra channel reported citing Iraq’s Interior Ministry intelligence department.
"We don't have any information to corroborate it," Davis told reporters. "Clearly, Baghdadi is someone who we would like to see meet his end, but we have not independently been able to corroborate that."

Reports of Baghdadi being injured or killed have appeared over the past several months, but none of them have been confirmed.
