Apr 27 (Agencies): Terror group Islamic State (IS)’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has reportedly died, according to media reports.
Quoting Radio Iran, All India Radio tweeted saying "leader of the #ISIS terrorist group Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has died."
Baghdadi is said to have "died in an Israeli hospital in Golan Heights," according to Radio Iran.
The report is yet to be verified.
The Guardian had reported last week that Baghdadi had received serious 'life-threatening' injuries during a US-led airstrike in March and that the strike had left him seriously wounded.
It appeared that Baghdadi was a more compelling figure as compared to the "elderly and relatively colourless" Ayman al-Zawahri of Al Qaeda.
