ISIL leader hit in US airstrike?

Jerusalem Post:

US led airstrikes have targeted a gathering of Islamic State leaders in Iraq in a town near the Syrian border, possibly including the group's top commander Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Al-Hadath television channel said on Saturday.

Iraqi security officials were not immediately available for comment on the report from the station, part of Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television, but two witnesses told Reuters an air strike targeted a house where senior Islamic State officers were meeting, near the western Iraqi border town of al-Qaim.

They said Islamic State fighters had evacuated a hospital so that their wounded could be treated. Residents said there were unconfirmed reports that Islamic State's local leader in the western Iraqi province of Anbar and his deputy were killed.

US officials would not confirm or deny if Baghdadi, the group's overall leader, had been targeted.

One US official said that air strikes were carried out against a convoy near the northern city of Mosul and against small Islamic State units elsewhere, but the US-led air strikes had not targeted an Islamic State gathering.

Al-Hadath said dozens of people were killed and wounded in the strike, which it said took place in al-Qaim, and that Baghdadi's fate was unclear.

Al-Qaim and its neighboring Syrian counterpart Albukamal are on a strategic supply route.

The intelligence in the area controlled by ISIL is too sketchy to confirm the report evidently.   It was apparently good enough to target an airstrike at a leadership gathering.  These guys tend to be more vulnerable when on the move.  The report of the hospital probably comes from signal intelligence or observation aircraft such as a drone..  Getting a decapitation strike on ISIL leadership would be a real coup.

The Daily Mail has more on the strike which they believe hit al Baghdadi.
