Chief of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has appeared for the first time in five years in a propaganda video released by the jihadi group. The video shows Baghdadi in a casual conversational setting with other men , whose faces are blurred. In the video, Baghdadi is heard praising the Sri Lanka attackers, calling it revenge for Baghouz, the Islamic State's final bastion in Syria, which was taken back from the caliphate last month. Baghdadi was reportedly injured in an air strike in 2015, but this video suggests he’s fully recovered.
