‘Important to know if it really took place’: Bashar Assad doubts Al-Baghdadi’s death again, says ISIS ‘made by Americans’

Less than a month ago, Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) confirmed the loss of its longtime chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and tapped his successor – but Bashar Assad thinks that even if he was killed, the reasons might not be that transparent.
Did it really happen? I do not know. That does not mean he was not killed, but if he was, it's not because he was a terrorist.
“The most important [thing] is whether al-Baghdadi was really killed, and whether this beautiful comedy presented by the Americans really took place,” the Syrian President said.

Washington announced the killing of al-Baghdadi on October 27, telling the world that the terrorist leader perished in “a daring night-time raid” in northwest Syria. While the Pentagon released drone footage of the incursion, it offered little proof regarding the terrorist leader’s demise itself, only saying that he – exactly like Osama bin Laden – was allegedly buried at sea.
