The head of the Islamic State is still incapacitated from a spinal injury, and the new leader of the terrorist group is intent on "fighting back" against Europe, according to a new report by Martin Chulov in The Guardian.
Kareem Shaheen at The Guardian had previously reported that the "caliph" was injured so badly he could barely move.
He was reportedly wounded in an airstrike by the US-led coalition in March.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who last year declared himself caliph of the Islamic State (also known as ISIS, ISIL, and Daesh), is reportedly now being treated by two doctors who support ISIS.
Several sources told Chulov that Baghdadi's injuries are so serious that he might never be able to lead ISIS again.
Abu Alaa Afri, former physics teacher from Mosul, was installed as ISIS' temporary leader after Baghdadi was injured, an Iraqi government adviser told Newsweek.

ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has according to Radio Iran died after suffering serious injuries in an air strike in western Iraq.
Media reports on April 21 said Baghdadi suffered life-threatening injuries during the attack by the US-led coalition in March.
Baghdadi’s injuries led to urgent meetings of Islamic State leaders, who initially believed he would die and made plans to name a new leader, said media reports.
In October 2011, the US State Department had listed Baghdadi as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and announced a reward of up to USD 10 million for information leading to his capture or death.
Baghdadi, who is known to his supporters as Amir al-Mu’minin or Caliph Ibrahim, lead the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) an Islamic extremist group in western Iraq, Libya, northeast Nigeria and Syria self-styled as the ‘Islamic State’.
I was just about to write something similar.

RE: This guy has more lives than a normal alley cat.
Saddam Hussein is known to hire look-alike decoys to confuse potential assassins.
I’m not surprised if Al-Baghdadi learned from him.

Those pesky airstrikes do cause back problems sometimes.
