Six bodies found with Baghdadi's: Rebel commander

The bodies of three men and three women were found in the same location as that purported to be of Baghdadi, a commander of a militant faction in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib told the Reuters news agency.

Meanwhile, Bashira resident Abdel Hameed told AFP he rushed to the scene last night as he heard the helicopters and gunfire.

"The home had collapsed and next to it there was a destroyed tent and vehicle. There were two people killed inside" the car, he said.
