Islamic State says leader’s son killed in Syria
This undated image posted online Tuesday by media outlets of the
Islamic State militant group shows Huthaifa al-Badri, son of the
leader of the Islamic State group Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Could be a ruse. No sympathy from this quarter.

BEIRUT — The Islamic State has said the son of its top leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed fighting Syrian government forces. The announcement of the death of Baghdadi’s young son appeared on the group’s social media accounts late Tuesday. It included a picture of a youth carrying a rifle and identified him as Huthaifa al-Badri. The statement, dated this month, said he was an elite fighter, known as an ‘‘inghimasi,’’ who was killed while fighting Syrian and Russian troops at a power station in the central Homs province. It did not specify when he was killed.
Could be a ruse. No sympathy from this quarter.
