ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead

In what could be termed as a severe blow to the dreaded terror outfit Islamic State (ISIS), media reports on Monday claimed that its chief Abu Bakr al Baghdadi is dead.
It can be noted that a Guardian report last week claimed that Baghdadi had received serious 'life-threatening' injuries during a US-led airstrike in March and that the strike had left him seriously wounded.

The report added that Baghdadi was no more in control of daily operations of ISIS as he had not been able to recover.
