ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi killed
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has reportedly been killed in a US air strike in Raqqa.
His death, reported by the respected Turkish daily Yenis Safak, would be a major blow for the jihadists and comes only days after 50 people were killed in an Orlando nightclub by a man pledging allegiance to ISIS.
But there have previously been reports that al-Baghdadi, who proclaimed himself caliph of all Muslims two years ago, has been killed or wounded.
The Abna24 website said al-Baghdadi had been killed on Sunday morning by an air strike in Syria but the US-led coalition has made no comment.
But there has been no confirmation from the US or any other coalition powers.
