Profile: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - Published Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State (IS) militant group, has been careful to reveal little about himself and his whereabouts. Rumours about his death surfaced earlier this year, after reports that he had been seriously wounded in an air strike in March by the US-led coalition that is opposing IS. But the Pentagon said that Baghdadi's fate remained unclear. The IS chief allegedly broke a months-long silence in May by releasing an audio message in which he urged Muslims to emigrate to the "caliphate" that the group has proclaimed in areas of Syria and Iraq. But his only public appearance on video has been to deliver a sermon in Mosul after IS took the northern Iraqi city last year. Before then, there were only two authenticated photos of him. The IS chief also appears to wear a mask to address his commanders, earning the nickname "the invisible sheikh". But Baghdadi - a nom de guerre, rather than his real name - has good reason to maintain a veil of mystery, says the BBC's Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner. One of his predecessors, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi who headed the most violent jihadist group in Iraq until his death, was a high-profile showman whose secret location was eventually tracked down. He was killed in a US bombing raid in 2006. He may be a shadowy figure, but the organisation he leads is pulling in thousands of new recruits and has become one of the most cohesive militias in the Middle East, our correspondent adds. Highly organised Baghdadi is believed to have been born in Samarra, north of Baghdad, in 1971. Reports suggest he was a cleric in a mosque in the city around the time of the US-led invasion in 2003. Some believe he was already a militant jihadist during the rule of Saddam Hussein. Others suggest he was radicalised during the four years he was held at Camp Bucca, a US facility in southern Iraq where many al-Qaeda commanders were detained. He emerged as the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, one of the groups that later became Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), in 2010, and rose to prominence during the attempted merger with al-Nusra Front in Syria. He did not swear allegiance to the leader of the al-Qaeda network, Zawahiri, who had urged ISIS to focus on Iraq and leave Syria to al-Nusra. Baghdadi and his fighters have openly defied the al-Qaeda chief, leading some commentators to believe he now holds higher prestige among many Islamist militants. Zawahiri still has a lot of power by virtue of his franchises in Pakistan and the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa. 'Terrorist' But Baghdadi has a reputation as a highly organised and ruthless battlefield tactician, which analysts say makes his organisation more attractive to young jihadists than that of Zawahiri, an Islamic theologian. In October 2011, the US officially designated Baghdadi as "terrorist" and offered a $10m (£5.8m; 7.3m euros) reward for information leading to his capture or death. It notes Baghdadi's aliases, including Abu Duaa and Dr Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai. As well as the uncertainty surrounding his true identity, his whereabouts are also unclear with reports he was in Raqqa in Syria. So there remain more questions than answers about the leader of one of the world's most dangerous jihadist groups.

अल-बग्दादीको शव 'गोप्य रूपमा' व्यवस्थापन अमेरिकी सेनाले इस्लामिक स्टेटका नेता अबु बकर अल-बग्दादीको शरीरका अवशेषहरूको व्यवस्थापन गरिएको जनाएको छ। यद्यपि कहाँ र कसरी व्यवस्थापन गरियो भन्नेबारे सेनाले केही बताएको छैन। शनिवार उत्तरी सिरियामा अमेरिकी विशेष फौजको कारबाहीका क्रममा अल-बग्दादीले सुसाइड भेस्ट विस्फोट गराई आफ्नो ज्यान लिएका लिए। पेन्टागनमा आयोजित एउटा पत्रकार सम्मेलनमा रक्षामन्त्री मार्क एस्परले हाम्रो समयको सबैभन्दा जघन्यमध्येका अपराधका लागि अल-बग्दादी जिम्मेवार रहेको बताए। अनुयायी पनि मारिए यसअघि अल-कायदाका प्रमुख ओसामा बिन लादेनको शव समुद्रमा गाडिएको थियो। शनिवार ह्वाइट हाउसमा बोल्दै अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनल्ड ट्रम्पले भागेर एउटा सुरुङभित्र अल-बग्दादीले आफूले लगाएको एउटा 'सुसाइड भेस्ट' विस्फोट गराएको बताएका थिए। ट्रम्पले अमेरिकी फौजको कारबाहीमा ठूलो सङ्ख्यामा अल-बग्दादीका अनुयायीहरू मारिएको र नियन्त्रणमा लिइएको बताए। मारिनेहरूमा उनका दुई श्रीमती पनि थिए। उनीहरूले विस्फोट हुने भेस्ट लगाएका थिए, तर त्यसलाई उनीहरूले विस्फोट गराएनन्। इराक र सिरिया क्षेत्रमा 'क्यालिफेट' अर्थात् ईश्वरका प्रतिनिधिबाट शासित राज्यको घोषणा गरेपछि अल-बगदादी सन् २०१४ मा चर्चामा आएका थिए। क्रूर शासन इस्लामिक स्टेटले गरेका कैयौँ हत्याका घटनामा हजारौँ मानिसले ज्यान गुमाइसकेका छन्। उक्त जिहादी समूहले करिब ८० लाख मानिसमाथि एउटा क्रूर शासन लादेको थियो। विश्वका विभिन्न स्थानमा गराइएका आक्रमणहरूमा सो समूहको हात रहेको बताइन्छ। इराकी र सिरियाली क्षेत्रका साथै अन्यत्र पनि इस्लामिक स्टेटका लडाकुहरू सक्रिय हुँदा हुँदै संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिकाले यसै महिनाको शुरूतिर 'क्यालिफेट' परास्त भएको घोषणा गरेको थियो।
