SAS PUT ON ‘KILL OR CAPTURE’ MISSION OF ABŪ BAKR AL-BAGHDADI
UK, (DAILY MAIL), 30 MAY 2019 - SAS troops are reportedly on a ‘kill or capture’ mission to hunt down the world’s most wanted man, Abu Bakr al-baghdadi.
There is currently a £20million bounty on Baghdadi, who was presumed dead until new footage of him speaking to followers was released by ISIS in April.
Retired British Army officer Colonel Richard Kemp has warned Baghdadi ‘urgently’ needs to be stopped as he continues to inspire and encourage atrocities including the Sri Lanka bombings, which killed eight Britons.
According to The Mirror, the SAS is said to be on a ‘kill or capture’ mission, while the RAF has deployed drones armed with Hellfire missiles from RAF Waddington on surveillance missions.
Some 30 SAS and Special Boat Service are said to be searching for Baghdadi, helped by Iraq’s ‘Golden Division’ special forces.
He is thought to be hiding in the desert of Al Anbar Province, west of Baghdad in Iraq.
