The leader of ISIS was reportedly 'seriously injured' in a March airstrike, according to the Guardian.

The newspaper reported that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had been traveling in a convoy of vehicles targeted in a coalition airstrike near the western town of Baaj on March 18th. Baghdadi had not been the target of the strike, which was aimed at local-level ISIS figures.

If the Guardian report is true  — the Pentagon said it has "no reason to believe it was Baghdadi — then it's likely that Baghdad's whereabouts were narrowed to a town about 200 miles west of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city and the most populous city in ISIS's self-declared caliphate.
