The leader of the “Islamic state” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi admitted defeat in Iraq and ordered the rebels either to flee or to die as suicide bombers.
Mastermind of terror issued a statement titled “Farewell”. It was common among the preachers of ISIS and their followers in various parts of Iraq that are still under the control of jihadists.
According to local media, he urged supporters to run and hide. He also said “Arab militants” either to return home or to blow themselves up as jihadists, for which the reward they will receive the “72 houris in heaven.”
The statement, which has yet to be tested, came after the US-backed Iraqi army units took control of the last major road of Western Mosul.
Just a few days ago, the British defense Secretary Michael Fallon said he expects by the end of 2017, a departure from the major cities of Iraq jihadists ISIS.
The exact location of the main leader of the organization remains a mystery. Earlier in mass media there were frequent reports that he was either seriously injured or killed during the conflict.
