AP - CAIRO - The leader of the Islamic State group urged followers to burn their enemies everywhere and target "media centers of the infidels," according to an audio recording released Thursday that the extremists said was by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The reclusive leader of ISIS, who has only appeared in public once, also vowed to continue fighting and lavished praise on his jihadis for their valor in the battlefield - despite the militants' loss of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul in July. The recording was released by the ISIS-run al-Furqan outlet, which has in the past released messages from al-Baghdadi and other top figures of the extremist group. The voice in the over 46-minute-long audio sounded much like previous recordings of al-Baghdadi.
