ISIS chief Baghdadi appears in propaganda video for first time in five years

In the footage circulating among the members of the terrorist group on Telegram, the notorious leader was seen with a couple of militants. The video was published by the network's al-Furqan media group.

It has been over five years since he was ever seen in a video made public. However it is unclear when or where the video was filmed. 

He has already been reported dead several times. Russia claimed to have killed Baghdadi in a 2017 airstrike.

The United States had put up a $25 million reward for his capture, the same amount as it had offered for al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his successor Ayman al-Zawahri.
