Britain’s Special Air Service (SAS) alongside US Special Forces are on a “kill not capture” mission for Islamic State (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a media report has claimed.<\/p>\n

Britain’s spy chiefs at MI6 and GCHQ are putting all their resources behind tracking down and killing al-Baghdadi, ‘Daily Star’ reported.<\/p>\n

\"Mission<\/p>\n

The mission will be led by top SAS snipers, while covert squads monitor hideouts in Iraq and Syria.<\/p>\n

“The head of IS is now a priority target. That means the SAS will be using all of their experience and skill to track him down.<\/p>\n

He is a dead man walking, it’s just a matter of time. He is going to be killed by ground troops or taken out in an air strike or drone strike,” an unnamed defence source told the newspaper.<\/p>\n

The SAS will work closely with US counterparts, Delta Force, alongside the CIA and the National Security Agency (NSA).<\/p>\n

\"Mission<\/p>\n

It was a team of SAS and Delta Force soldiers who had hunted down Al Qaeda boss Al Zarqawi in Iraq in 2006.<\/p>\n

There have been some reports of Al Baghdadi’s death but he was reportedly spotted last month.<\/p>\n

The US government has also raised the price on his head from USD 10 million to USD 25 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
