Al Baghdadi had a $25 million bounty on his head from the State Department and has escaped capture since ISIS was established to seize territory and resources in the Middle East.

Al Baghdadi went through a long period of silence but a video in April provided visual proof that he was still alive, despite rumors that he was killed or badly wounded in an American airstrike.

In September, al-Baghdadi released a video urging his followers to carry out further attacks against the West and free soldiers from prison in Syria.
