The Obama administration has reportedly placed leaders of the Sunni militant group ISIS on the U.S. kill list. According to the Washington Free Beacon, U.S. forces can now kill Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and other ISIS commanders through targeted strikes, such as drone attacks. Baghdadi has been named the leader of the caliphate ISIS recently declared in the seized areas of Iraq and Syria under its control. In a message to supporters, Baghdadi called on Muslims worldwide to join the group.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: “We call on Muslim clerics, scholars, doctors, engineers, military personnel and fighters to join the Muslim Umma and to avenge wrongs committed against Muslims worldwide.”
