Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was designated by the United States Department of State as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. [13] The US Department of State's Rewards for Justice Program identified Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as a senior leader of the IS terrorist organization, and as having been "responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians in the Middle East, including the brutal murder of numerous civilian hostages from Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States." [13] Authorities within the United States had also accused al-Baghdadi of kidnapping, enslaving, and repeatedly raping an American, Kayla Mueller, who IS later alleged was killed in a Jordanian airstrike but is believed to have been executed by IS. [111] Suspected location [ edit ] Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is a pseudonym. [21] His kunya (teknonym) was Abu Bakr, meaning "father of a young camel". [22] [23] Having at some time taken the name Abu Bakr, al-Baghdadi is thought to have adopted the name of the first caliph, Abu Bakr. During the times when Muhammad [24] might have suffered from illnesses, Abu Bakr was the replacement for leading prayer, according to the Sunni tradition [25] of Islam. [26] His surname literally means "The one from Baghdad" and denotes that he was from Baghdad city or Baghdad governorate in Iraq. [27] Abu Ahmed al-Samarrai: The Head of the Khalidiya Council in Al Anbar Governorate reported in February 2016: "Today, Iraqi Air Force conducted an airstrike on the so-called IS sharia court in Albu Bali area in Khalidiya Island east of Ramadi. The strike resulted in the death of Abu Ahmed al-Samarrai, the nephew of the IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, along with eight of his companions, as well as Adel al-Bilawi, the Military Commander of Albu Bali area." [254] In April 2015, multiple media reports emerged claiming that Baghdadi had married a German teenager on 31 March 2015. [225] On 28 February 2016, Iraqi media reported that she had left IS and had fled Iraq along with two other women. She was identified as Diane Kruger. [226] According to reports in the Iraqi media, she had married him during October 2015, somewhere within Nineveh Governorate. [227] Sujidah al-Dulaimi [ edit ] In the clearest explanation yet of al-Dulaimi's connection to al-Baghdadi, Lebanese Interior Minister Nohad Machnouk told Lebanon's MTV channel that "Dulaimi is not Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's wife currently. She has been married three times: first to a man from the former Iraqi regime, with whom she had two sons." [233] Other sources identify her first husband as Fallah Ismail Jassem, a member of the Rashideen Army, who was killed in a battle with the Iraqi Army in 2010. [230] [235] [236] Machnouk continued, "Six years ago she married Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for three months, and she had a daughter with him. Now, she is married to a Palestinian and she is pregnant with his child." The Minister added, "We conducted DNA tests on her and the daughter, which showed she was the mother of the girl, and that the girl is [Baghdadi's] daughter, based on DNA from Baghdadi from Iraq." [233] [237]European Union – The European Union said the death of Baghdadi was a major blow to the organization but warned that it still remains a major threat. [91]

A Western intelligence agent stated that they hadn't apprehended him yet deliberately, so he could lead them to Baghdadi.
