The Pentagon today shot down an overseas report that the head of ISIS was seriously wounded during an airstrike in western Iraq.

According to a report in the Guardian, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi suffered life-threatening injuries during an assault between the villages of Umm al-Rous and al-Qaraan. Al-Baghdadi is no longer in control of day-to-day operations, Iraqi sources said, according to the Guardian.

But the Pentagon denied the British newspaper’s report on Tuesday — saying they had no reason to believe al-Baghdadi was inside any of the vehicles that were targeted.

“I don’t know where the hell they got their information,” a Pentagon source told The Post. “We were not even targeting Baghdadi in that strike.”

“We would love to conduct a strike against him,” the source added. “We need to find him first.”

As far as Pentagon officials know, al-Baghdadi is “still the leader of ISIS and in charge of day-to-day operations,” the source said.
