#Syria #DeirEzZor Reporter :  “”Al Bukamal
Intense offensive and mass suicide by ISIS using SVBIEDs in an attempt to liberate Al Baghdadi ISIS leader who is hiding in one of Al Bukamal dens according to the info””

Unconfirmed reports that a mission is underway to capture ISIS 'Khalief' Abu Bakr al Baghdadi inside Al Bukamal. Syrian, Iraqi, Lebanese Hezbollah and Russian Special Forces are meeting heavy resistance from a section within Al Bukamal believed to be the hideout of al Baghdadi.

From Southfront

The Hezbollah-linked media said that the leader of ISIS Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may be hiding in one of the districts in the liberated city of Abu Kamal in Syria, according to RIA. Hezbollah did not elaborate beyond that.

At the same time something is very strange is ongoing in the area of al-Bukamal, according to local sources. As it was reported earlier, Syrian troops are still struggling to secure the area after the Syrian Defense Ministry declared the liberation of the city on November 9.

ISIS reportedly used at least 10 anti-tank guided missiles against pro-government forces in the area. The fact that the terrorist group uses such expensive weapon en masse may confirm that ISIS members defend some VIP of the group.

Furthermore, multiple landings of Russian and Syrian helicopters have been observed in the al-Bukamal area over the last 48 hours. No details are available about the purpose of this move. Most likely, The allies are deploying special operations forces there.

The army and Hezbollah also started evacuating civilians from al-Bukamal. This should help in case of a large-scale search operation for… let’s say al-Baghdadi.

Reading the article about Lenin I do not need to read more about Russia Insider. And just checking the surface what we find? The White House. So pretty.

Honest question, who thought that the Russian intervention would turn out the way it is going?

Personally I dreaded this would get results for a while and the escalation would simply keep the grinder on for a decade more.

And here we are with basically a dying war and an all but total victory for Mordor. #TheBattle@theBlackGatewasaninsidejob

This war is far from over with ISiS gone you move onto stage 2 is all.

This is no dying war.

while the Russians deserve credit the main man in this war is al-Hassan he is their MVP without him iSIS would be in alot better shape then it is now.

He is responsible for all of the Russians main victory's and Assad's without him the Russians would not have had a worse time off airpower is meaningless if your ground troops cannot do anything. Yes their airstrikes are for sure a major factor.

It was his men who paved the way for the Russians to find targets and more they always fought outmanned out gun and won their battles despite the odds.

There is a reason in Syrian he has a bigger bounty on his head than any Russian or Syrian in the millions, last I heard it reached over 5 Million dollars dead even more alive.

You not only are a US hardline follower, even you claimed to be US soldier (or similar).

From this condition, are you shameless enough to acknowledge publicly that your country is paying for the death of Syrian and Russian generals?

I just said he has a bounty not who ordered the bounty put on him

Learn to read buddy and if you do not understand english do not comment on English posts. Literally just made a fool of yourself.

You are the alone fooling yourself. I was asking, do not you know how to read a question?

From your answer we can see you are not shameless enough, but also is obvious you are liying now by fear of recognizing what you really said before. Liying now, not before.

But following your last lie just a second, who is ordering/offering these bounties?

Echo the previous post, plus where did Russian Generals enter the equation?

Also, please, as Garry has said, stop insulting other Forum members, in this case using "and not so bright," to describe two of them.

For JohninMK, another US hardline follower, that is asking about somthing that he himself cut in his quote, in the bolded+red part of the original message of SeigSoloyvov, there is a direct reference to Russians and Syrians, and al-Hassan is a Syrian general. SeigSoloyvov tried to evade later his own comment about the nationalities mentioned, saying it was about ISIS people, but curiously he was not talking about ISIS people in the original quote and neither mentioned Saudis, Jordanians, Tunesians, Egyptians, French, Germans, British and lots of other nationalities present in the ISIS. I do not doubt it has been bounties also for them, but is also legit and obvious, reading his original comment, to think that he was talking also about Russians fighting with the Assad forces. And "casually" there is a long list of "Russian and Syrian" generals killed recently in the frontline, that suggest a serious tracking against them, likely from who has been ordering these bounties.

And we come to the same question again, following his last lie we can ask to SeigSoloyvov: who is ordering/offering these bounties?

first off nothing I said was a lie, I said "There was a bounty"

you are now assuming, who set the bounty and are insulting me over it.

I never SAID who SET the bounty. You can assume all you want, however you have no right to.

you are are assuming alot in this post, I mentioned Hassan's bounty because he was in my post. ETC I was talking about him no one else.

Many people have bounties in syria ISIS, Rebels, SAA, Kurds for example there is tons of them for many different factions.

now I am going to give you the chance to shut your trap and realize you just said something stupid and leave it at that or I will report you to the admins and at this point I am about to block you.

Lieing about who set a bounty when I never claimed who set said bounty just that someone did...jesus. what an anal nutbag you are.

1.- I quoted fairly and completely your comments, for you have not need to re-say what you said. Less changing it.

2.- There are lies in your comments. As example you said not "there was" you said "he has" [now]. See the part bolded in red, and also in your next comment in the chain. Another lie, I said not that you said who ordered/offered the bounties, I asked, in the two comments.

3.- There are not insults in my comments, also quoted.

4.- You can block who you want.

5.- You can report what you want.

6.- The question was fair and remains unanswered. Unprecedently, the people is waiting to your answer.

7.- Even if you answer not properly to the questions, the real answer is evident enough after your messages.

"are you shameless enough to acknowledge publicly that your country is paying for the death of Syrian and Russian generals?"

You are saying here since I said he has a bounty that the US set it on him, so you are using the fact I stated there was a bounty to justify saying it was the US who set it on his head, so yes you ignorant twit. you are saying I said who set the bounty.

Also, you clearly don't know how to speak English correctly. There was nothing wrong with my sentence structure.

Also "there was?" I never used the words "There" and "was" together in reference to Hassan. So you are lying here saying I said words about a guy I never did say, this is harassment Enhie congrats I now have a legit reason to report you.

Now if you are asking me

"Who set the bounty on him" you have utterly failed in doing so because you insulted me and attacked me over false claims. Yes, I do know who set the bounty on him, it wasn't the US tho, it's not exactly a dam secret who did. However, if you ask nicely and with manners, I will answer you.

Allow me to help you since you have a very big problem with speaking English an example of a nice way to ask the question is -Can you please tell me who had the bounty placed on Hassan-

Btw calling RI a pentagon insider....lol if you have seen White House press briefings you would know that RI gets treated very shitty in them and that Russia does fund RI and it is based in Moscow. When Papa showed me that I laughed my rear off.

what's next RT is part of Us spy program?.



So for any admins who see this, I would like to formally report this guy for false claims and insults when I never talked to him. His claims are proven to be false, his own statements show this. He has been warned time and time again about his behavior however he doesn't learn.

What I say is in my messages, you need not to say what I say, because the people know to read and read it in my messages.

Now you can answer to the questions. It is what the people is waiting from you after saying what is in your firsts comments of this chain of quotes.

Highly unlikely that it's him. Not impossible but.... yeah, a lot of more probable scenarios for al-Baghdadi getting taken out - including his foreign sponsors pulling the rug under his feet and having him shot dead/disappeared.

Long way to go yet by the look of it, if true

Seems there was a IS counter attack and these reports of IS trying to recover Al Bagdadi are probably PR cover

Here's a IS video said to be from Bukamal

Footage from Al-Bukamal...they're saying the town is being cleared and that IS is dug in in the Northern part of town...

SOHR claims IS has retaken the town while the Rus. Army rep denies that information

lots of airstrikes

Russian MoD Official: 'Combing of Abu Kemal Is Now Almost Completed'

Several media outlets earlier claimed that Daesh had seized major areas of the Syrian city of Abu Kemal, forcing the Syrian Army to leave the captured zone. A representative of the Russian forces in Syria has refuted the reports, observing that the suppression of the remaining terrorists in the city was almost completed.
DAMASCUS (Sputnik) — On Friday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the Syrian army, with support from the Russian Aerospace Forces, retook Abu Kemal, the last terrorist stronghold. However, a day later, reports appeared in some western media sources saying that Daesh has recaptured nearly 60 percent of Abu Kemal's territory, forcing the troops of the Syrian Army to flee.

"All messages of the Daesh and of foreign media quoting them, about the alleged abandonment of the city of Abu Kemall by the Syrian troops, are unfounded propaganda. The city came under the control of the Syrian army and militias on Friday," a representative of the Russian group of forces in Syria said on Sunday.

A Russian military official added that the last hardcore fighters are being eliminated on the outskirts of the city.
"Combing of the city’s suburbs is now almost completed. The resistance of remaining pockets of terrorists and lone fighters is being suppressed in order to begin demining [the city’s] districts soon," he added.

Last week, Syrian government troops, supported by strikes on Daesh by Russian air and sea forces struck the embattled terrorist hotbed in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor.

Earlier, the Russian Defense ministry noted that over 90 percent of the country's territory has been liberated from the terrorists.

Shocking. Hopefully it was only L-39 that was there that was destroyed. I am sure the final death toll will told soon.

Russians actually check ID's and what not even if people are in uniform, they are fine in this regard.

Tayyip's "Seljuk Brigades" commander who successfully infiltrated the SDF at the highest level comes in from the cold.
He sponsored the "Jazira Storm" gig to get the Syrian Govt & the Kurds at loggerheads & force a US-Russia confrontation. Almost worked.
