daesh. women accused of adultery were stoned to death. thieves had their hands hacked off. men who had defied the militants were beheaded. some of the most notorious atrocities carried out by bag day idea and his followers included the organized rape of women considered to be non-believers including the people who lived in northern iraq. tell us more about why he was the world s most wanted terrorist and am i right in my assumption that there would have been a very wide circle of people who would have potentially wanted to take revenge against him? sure. so so al-baghdadi first came to our notice in 2014. i would say in the public s notice. when isis blitzkrieged across iraq and syria and took over a territory that was equal in size to great britain.
