Islamic State remains a potent threat around the world despite reduced capabilities, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said on Tuesday, adding its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had made his latest video appearance in a “remote area”, ONA reports quoting Reuters.
A video released late on Monday by Islamic State’s media network showed a man it said was Baghdadi in what would be his first appearance since he declared the jihadists’ now-defunct “caliphate” five years ago.
The authenticity and date of the recording could not be independently verified.
