Iraq's air force has reportedly hit a military convoy carrying the leader of Islamic State Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
According to a military statement, the strike took place in the Iraqi province of Anbar and it was unclear if al-Baghdadi had been killed.
It is believed Iraqi jets targeted the convoy as it was travelling close to the Syrian border in Western Anbar provinceSunday.
'Iraqi air forces have bombed the convoy of the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while he was heading to Karabla to attend a meeting with Daesh commanders', the statement read.
There were reports in May that al-Baghdadi had been seriously wounded in a strike by the coalition bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and that he remained incapacitated due to suspected spinal damage sustained in that airstrike.
