Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is not in Turkey
Head of the terrorist group of ISIL Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is not in Turkey, Turkish Ambassador to Iran Reza Hakan Tekin said on Sunday.
Speaking to reporters, he noted that if ISIL leader or or any of its affiliates or elements enter the Turkish territory, they will be arrested immediately.
Tekin refused media reports about hospitalization of al-Baghdadi in Turkey, adding that these reports are biased.
Turkey is victim of terrorism and has declared the ISIL as a terrorist group, he added.
Some media have reported that ISIL Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been transferred to Turkey for treatment through a series of coordination measures by the CIA after the notorious terrorist leader was severely injured in the Iraqi army’s airstrike on his convoy in Western Anbar province.
A military statement by the Iraqi Army announced on October 11 that the Iraqi air force had bombed the convoy of al-Baghdadi while he was heading to Al-Karable to attend a meeting with ISIL commanders.
Al-Karable is the Sub-district in the West of the Al Anbar province of Iraq, beside the Syrian border in an area of high ground.
Several ISIL commanders were killed in the June airstrike, including Abu Hareth Al-Shami, Abu Aeshe al-Ansari – an explosives expert – Moroccan national Abu Yousef Al-Jezrawi, Abu Hussein Al-Salmani who was in charge of issues concerning ISIL’s Zakah (an Islamic tax system), and Wa’d al-Latif Jom’eh al-Mohammadi who was in charge of ISIL’s suicide operation agents.
