BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:50 P.M.) - Sometimes it pays to be late, which is especially the case for the Islamic State (ISIS) Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, as he allegedly escaped the Iranian attack on eastern Syria.
According to a report from Iraqi News, the Islamic State leader barely survived the Iranian attack this week after showing up late to the terrorist group's meeting near the strategic city of Albukamal.
Citing a Baghdad Today interview with Hashd Al-Sha'abi leader Jabar Al-Ma'amouri, the report claimed “the Iranian shelling against specific pockets of Islamic State, east of Euphrates in Syria, using missiles few days ago targeted an important meeting for the so-called Islamic State’s war council, to which Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was on way.”
The terrorist leader "was about to get killed in the shelling but he survived as he was late few minutes for the meeting.”
They would add that 'Ali Al-Mashadani, Baghdadi's deputy, was killed during the attack; he was reportedly in line to be his successor.
