That does not matter whether they are from London, or Paris, or from Baghdad. We will target you under the laws of armed conflict”. He added that Da’esh fighters were being killed “at a rate they simply can’t sustain”. Commenting on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, he said: “If we in the international coalition knew where he was, for certain then he wouldn’t stay alive for very long. I think if he was dead then there probably would have been an announcement to say he’s dead. Most of Baghdadi’s lieutenants are dead. He is now frankly in hiding. His narrative of some kind of caliphate, well that’s exposed as a lie when you’re in hiding yourself.”
