A senior US counterterrorism official said on Friday he had not seen any information confirming that the leader of the al-Qaeda organization, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, had been killed.
"I have not seen anything that leads me to believe that the leader of a preacher's organization has been removed from the battlefield, we know a lot, but we have no informationconfirming his death," said Nicholas Rasmussen, director of the anti-terrorist center.
