Al-Baghdadi reportedly injured in airstrike in western Iraq
Pentagon officials said they had no information on such a strike.
Reports said the strike happened early Saturday in the town of Qaim in Iraq’s Anbar province.
The official, citing informants within the militant group, said the strikes wounded al-Baghdadi.
A senior Iraqi military official also said he learned in operational meetings that al-Baghdadi had been wounded.
Sources said state television later also reported that al-Baghdadi had been wounded.
