Son of Abu Bakr Baghdadi killed in Syria fighting
Tehran(KNA) : Hudhayfah al Badri, the child of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, dies during an attack on Syrian and Russian forces, the group says.
Hudhayfah al Badri, son of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, was killed during an attack by the jihadists in the central Syrian province of Homs, IS-affiliated Amaq news agency said.
Badri was killed during an "operation against the Nussayriyyah and the Russians at the thermal power station in Homs," it added.
Nussayriyyah is the term used by ISIS for the Alawite sect of which Syrian president Bashar al Assad is a member.
Released with the statement was an image of a young boy carrying an assault rifle.
Baghdadi's location is unknown, but analysts have inferred from the statement that he is still alive.
