Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of Islamist militant group Isis, has called on Muslims to obey him, in his first video sermon. | |
Baghdadi has been appointed caliph by the jihadist group, which has seized large swathes of Iraq and Syria. | |
The video appears to have been filmed on Friday during a sermon at the Al-Nouri Mosque in Mosul, northern Iraq. | |
The release of the video comes amid rumours that Baghdadi was killed or injured in an attack. |
