Sounds legit. Idlib after all was one of the safer places he could have been with the Iraq-Syrian border near Deir Ez-Zor being scoured for him.
It certainly did seem to be #1 a local Iraqi intelligence coup more than Al Qaeda finding him and turning on him or intel from Mossad/Assad/Russia/etc



I'd joke that Germany could take in the 11 orphans that were rescued from the compound, but you'd probably take in any captured adult fighters too

here comes another foreign voyeur who is upset with the passing of Al Baghdadi

Anything on the hundred of thousand children USA killed in the unjustified Iraq War 2 ?

Yeah, they're French citizens now.

you seem upset that your little propaganda thread is being put into context.

sorry, but in this place there is not just one person with a microphone, uninterruptedly spewing lies and bs to distract from the blunders they made...

No, they are dead, it's the republican president, remember ? Bush
Your country attacked Iraq and destroyed its infrastructures, then a lot of people died of starvation and various diseases. Evalutions are upping to a 1.5 million or something.

Civilians, humans, dead for zero reason.

The following events were the rise of ISIS and Syrian war. Now get good with your fucked topic celebrating the stupidity of your government.


Abu Bakr Al-baghdadi was your creation ? Correct.

/nb; oups, for sure i cannot expect an answer on this topic just a "oh look you are french" or "oh look my bonespur-in-chief killed isis"

They're dead because they tolerated a leader who was dumb enough not to appease the Bush administration in the aftermath of 9/11, and they belong to a backwards religion that enables sectarian and extremist violence.

Being French is a worse fate.



Glad to know you're agreeing with everything I've said about Obama's mismanaged foreign policy of for the past decade.

NYT and WaPo coverage today is 'something else'
NYT: How can we spin this story to make Trump look bad?
WaPo: How can we spin this story to make Baghdadi look good?


also, it shits all over the conspiracy theorists with the misidentified timing:

>Around midnight Sunday morning — 5 p.m. Saturday in Washington — eight American helicopters, primarily CH-47 Chinooks, took off from a military base near Erbil, Iraq.
reddit and twitter are absolutely overrun with crazies claiming Trump was golfing during the raid at 3 PM, because the picture was timestamped at 5 PM
the flights took an unknown time, the ground raid was ~2 hours, there were airstrikes afterwards, Trump tweeted 'confirmation' at 9 PM
