ISIL ringleader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has chosen three successors for himself, among them an Iraqi national, to lead the terrorist group after him, local sources in Nineveh said.
Spokesman of Hashd al-Shaabi (the Iraqi volunteer forces) Ahmad al-Assadi has said on Monday Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is in a region between the town of Tal Afar and the town of al-Baaj in Iraq, hiding somewhere outside Mosul.
A prominent Iraqi military analyst disclosed that Riyadh and Ankara had hatched plots to transfer ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi from Mosul to Libya but the massive presence of the popular forces and Russian fighter jets at the bordering areas of Iraq and Syria dissuaded them.
