Province as saying that “accurate information” showed Baghdadi’s food had been
poisoned by unknown individuals.
Meals prepared for him and the
other three for lunch had, according to the source, been poisoned in the Be’aaj
district, located southwest of Nineveh.
The source added that the four
are suffering from “severe poisoning” and “have been transferred to an unknown
location under strict [cautionary] measures.”

campaign of arrests in an attempt to find those responsible for poisoning the
food.
Daesh has been ravaging Iraq
and Syria since 2014. The terrorist group has overrun territory in both

so-called headquarters.

forces have been fighting the militants to win back the occupied areas.
