The Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is such a sneaky person who decided to fight against the world using twisted methods to achieve his ignoble goals. It all started in Camp Bucca, a US prison in Umm Qasr in Iraq, when Al Baghdadi deceived the Americans and told them that he was just sympathized with a Sunni militant group fighting Shiite militias in Samaraa, Iraq.
US authorities released al-Baghdadi as he was thought to be not dangerous. It has been said that Baghdadi shacked hands with the American jailers and told them "See you in New York!"
Al Baghdadi took over the al-Qaeda branch in Mesopotamia immediately after the murder of Abu Omar Al Baghdadi and Abu Hamza Al Muhajir. He then turned against al-Qaeda and declared the Islamic State, attracting most of the Islamist jihadists across the world who always dreamt of an Islamic Caliphate.
Recently, Al Baghdadi wanted to swap Moaz al-Kasasbeh, a Jordanian pilot facing a death threat by ISIS for a detained female Jihadists in Jordan called Sajida al-Rishawi, the Jordanian authorities however hesitated to approve the deal.
Once again al-Baghdadi used his tricks. The Islamic state released an audio tape on IS-linked Twitter account, offering to exchange al-Rishawi with a Japanese hostage and the Jordanian pilot who was captured last month by IS militants and rumors spread about his death, or IS will execute them immediately.
The Jordanian government found itself trapped in a difficult situation; either to swap al-Rishawi for only the Japanese hostage and compromise the life of the Jordanian pilot or to refuse the deal until they make sure that the pilot is alive. If Jordan refused the deal, the Islamic State may release a new video on Thursday that shows execution of the two hostages.
Either case, Jordanian authorities will be blamed for of the death of both hostages, should they refuse Al-Baghdadi's offer.
