I have yet to see this reported on American television and the story is five hours old according to Google.

Even if Baghdadi is dead, they'll find someone else to lead, it'll be a big blow to them though.

It would be useful to get confirmation here, of course ISIS might choose to not be honest about it.

Only Syrian State Media is running with this. I'd be very surprised if true.

Remember when Izzat Ibrahim Al-Douri was reportedly killed? It turned out to be a rumor only. I have a feeling it's a rumor too, sadly.

Any evidence? All I've seen is Russia is claiming they may have.
