The world’s most dangerous jihadist is ruthlessly re-drawing the map of the Middle East as his heavily-armed force of gangster-warriors stormed towards Baghdad. Today the ISIS threat to Iraqi capital Baghdad was so severe that President Obama hinted at a “short -term” military operation to rescue Iraq from the brink. Sweeping aside all before them his army of Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham fighters are so powerful that al-Qaeda’s command is scared of them. In just a few years Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has become commander of the most chilling terror force of the post 9-11 world. His lightning success has rattled even western intelligence agencies. Staggeringly, less than 1,000 of al-Baghdadi’s gunmen forced two divisions of US-trained Iraqi Army soldiers, a total of 30,000 troops, to flee. More than half a million refugees have fled the onslaught, heading south for Baghdad, as Mosul’s streets were littered with the corpses of civilians and anyone in a security uniform. www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/iraq-turmoil-isis-jihadists-march-3682134#ixzz34VCkh6uQ Follow us: @dailymirror on Twitter | DailyMirror on Facebook
