Russia Expresses \u2018Valid Doubts About Reality and Success\u2019 of U.S. ISIS Raid on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi<\/b><\/p>\n

The Russian Federation\u2019s military said on Sunday that it had \u201cvalid doubts\u201d about whether ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in the U.S. raid.<\/p>\n

Raw Story reports<\/a>: \u201cIn a speech from the White House on Sunday, Trump first thanked Russia for its assistance in the raid. According to Trump, Russia had allowed U.S. aircraft into its airspace to conduct the operation. But later on Sunday, the Russian military indicated that it was unaware of the raid, according to BBC reporter Steve Rosenberg. A spokesperson for the Russian military said there were \u2018valid doubts about the reality & success\u2019 of the U.S. operation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Said the Russian defense ministry, according to Rosenberg: \u201cWe are not aware of any assistance having being given to US Air Force flights into the air space of the Idlib de-escalation zone in this operation\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Moscow unconvinced by US claims that al-Baghdadi has been killed. Russian defence ministry refers to \u201cvalid doubts about the reality & success (of the operation), says \u201cno air strikes by US or coalition forces registered in Idlib de-escalation zone on Saturday or recent days.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast adds<\/a>: \u2018The Russian Defense Ministry\u2019s spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov, refuted President Trump\u2019s statement,\u00a0stating in part<\/a>: \u201cThe Russian Defense Ministry has no reliable information about U.S. servicemen conducting an operation for \u2018yet another\u2019 elimination of the former Daesh leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in the Turkish-controlled part of the Idlib de-escalation zone.\u201d\u00a0\u2026 Kremlin-controlled Russian state media shot down President Trump\u2019s announcement, with headlines\u00a0that read<\/a>: \u201cThe Russian Defense Ministry does not believe in al-Baghdadi\u2019s liquidation.\u201d Major General Igor Konashenkov scoffed at the changing details of the operation, with Trump adding alleged participants and various countries that supposedly took part in the raid, \u201ceach with completely contradictory details,\u201d which Konashenkov said \u201craises reasonable questions and doubts about [the operation\u2019s] veracity, not to mention success.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

Also: \u2018Konashenkov skeptically pointed out that al-Baghdadi was already supposedly \u201celiminated\u201d multiple times, with such claims being later disproven. In fact, Russia itself, as well as the Assad regime, have\u00a0falsely claimed<\/a>\u00a0to have killed the ISIS leader multiple times.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be interesting to watch the later edition: will there be some hasty rewriting of script to take in al-Baghdadi? pic.twitter.com\/aQNTSu5Y82<\/a><\/p>\n
