Iraq says it has hit the convoy of the chief of Daesh in an airstrike in the western Anbar Province.
In a statement on Sunday, the Iraqi military said the country's Air Force had hit the convoy of Ibrahim al-Samarrai aka Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, but added that his fate is as of yet unknown.
Iraqi media say Samarrai, injured in the airstrike, was moved quickly from the scene of the attack.
The statement said the elite intelligence section of Iraqi Air Force targeted the convoy of the terrorist leader after gathering precise information about Samarrai's plan to attend a meeting of Daesh operatives in the restive province of al-Anbar.
The venue of the planned meeting was also bombed by Iraqi warplanes with an unknown number of senior members of Daesh killed.
