Isis: Photos claim to show leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi make rare public appearance in Fallujah

The last time Al-Baghdadi was seen on film was in July 2014 in Mosul, and has allegedly only appeared in public once since declaring himself the caliph of the Islamic State, leading to reports that he may have been killed or injured in an airstrike.

There is currently a $10m dollar bounty on the Isis leader's head, causing some of the group's followers to denounce the photos as being those showing Al-Baghdadi's 'double' and not the leader himself.
In a post on Twitter, TracTerrorism shared a post said to be from an Isis account that read: "Khalifa Ibrahim's double, which makes sense – risk for public appearance."
A total of $30m dollars has been put up by the US government as a bounty on the heads of any of the top wanted Isis members, with the largest amount reserved for Al-Baghdadi.
