Claim: Pictures show Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi is a Mossad agent named Simon Elliot

I took a quick look through the forums and hadn't seen this anywhere. First thread, hope I'm not treading old ground with this.

The claim and pictures were found on a blog claiming to be the "real free Syrian press". I don't know which side of the conflict this puts the blogger one (both sides like to accuse the other of working with, for, or being Jews) it's enough to put the claim itself in serious doubt. However, what caught my attention and kept me from immediately dismissing the claim were 3 pictures that accompanied it:



and



and



Now, as it stands, I do not have enough information on who Simon Elliot is to say that the person in these pictures is him or anyone else. What I can say is that the person in the upper left corner of the first picture IS Baghdadi and that the unidentified person on the right side of that picture does look strikingly similar to Baghdadi (those eyebrows), and that this unidentified person looks like the man in the other two pictures. However, just because the unidentified person looks like him (Baghdadi) doesn't mean it is him, and just because the unidentified man in the first picture looks like the man in the other two pictures doesn't mean that they are the same person.

Because this hinges on people accepting the similarities between these people as them being the same person, I was hoping someone could either prove that the unidentified man is not a Mossad agent named Simon Elliot, or that someone has a strong enough background in facial recognition to say that unidentified man is not Baghdadi sans a beard and turban.

In my opinion this is a weak claim without even going into who Simon Elliot is and whether or not he is a Mossad agent. It relies entirely on people accepting those pictures and the narrative that came with them at face value. Thank you for your effort and time, please let me know if the way I posed this is confusing. It certainly sounds confusing in my head.
 
That does not seems to be the original claim, it links to:

عاجل و خطير جدا
:تناقلت مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي موضوعا مهما تضمن تمكن الجانب الايراني من كشف الهوية الحقيقة لزعيم الدولة الاسلامية (داعش) .
حيث بين الموضوع أن الاسم الحقيقي لابو بكر البغدادي هو "شمعون ايلوت" من اب وام يهوديان .
حيث أن المدعو "ايلوت" قد تم تجنيده في الموساد الاسرائيلية لمدة عام واحد خاض خلالها العديد من التجارب والاختبارات الفكرية والميدانية ليكون مؤهلاً لقيادة فكر مدمر للمجتمعات العربية والاسلامية.
هذا وفي تسريبات قيل انها منسوبة لادوار سنودن، ونشرتها صحف ومواقع اخبارية، ان زعيم تنظيم "الدولة الاسلامية" ابو بكر البغدادي تعاون مع أجهزة مخابرات اميركية وبريطانية واسرائيلية لخلق تنظيم إرهابي قادر على استقطاب المتطرفين من جميع أنحاء العالم في مكان واحد.

Urgent and very serious: has social media important subject the Iranian side was able to detect the identity of the leader of the Islamic State (daash).
Where the subject matter that the real name of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was "Simon Elliott" from father and mother Jewish.
The so-called "Eliot" was recruited in the Israeli Mossad for a year during which he fought many trials and tests and field to be eligible to lead a devastating thought of Arabic and Islamic.
This and the leaks allegedly attributed to the roles of Snowden, and published by newspapers and news websites, the leader of the "Islamic State," Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi Al-cooperation with us and British intelligence and to create a terrorist organization capable of attracting extremists from all over the world in one place.

Which claims it came from Iran, based on leaks from Edward Snowden.

Pretty much a claim without evidence.

Baghdadi 'Mossad trained'
Posted on » Tuesday, July 15, 2014

WASHINGTON: The former employee at US National Security Agency (NSA), Edward Snowden, has revealed that the British and American intelligence and the Mossad worked together to create the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Snowden said intelligence services of three countries created a terrorist organisation that is able to attract all extremists of the world to one place, using a strategy called "the hornet's nest".

NSA documents refer to recent implementation of the hornet's nest to protect the Zionist entity by creating religious and Islamic slogans.

According to documents released by Snowden, "The only solution for the protection of the Jewish state "is to create an enemy near its borders".

Leaks revealed that ISIS leader and cleric Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi took intensive military training for a whole year in the hands of Mossad, besides courses in theology and the art of speech..

Known pictures of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi for comparison:

The top left picture was taken while he was held at Camp Bucca by US Forces-Iraq from February until December 2004. The shot on the right is from the video released on 5 July 2014. Presumably the black and white photo on the bottom left falls somewhere between the others.

The photos with John McCain in the OP were taken in May 2013. But the man circled in those pictures looks younger than Abu did 10 years ago.

The picture of the man in a bar doesn't seem to add anything. Are we just supposed to accept that its a picture of a man called Simon Elliot and that Simon is a Mossad agent? None of the articles provide any evidence to support those assertions, without which its just a picture of a guy in a bar who has eyebrows a bit like Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.

“If the United States thinks that they can fix things by bombing the area now, it is impossible.”

— Mehmet Ali Sahin, deputy chairman of Turkey’s Justice and Development Party

Recent territorial gains in Iraq by the ISIL, the self-proclaimed Islamic State also known as ISIS or DAESH, allegedly without foreknowledge of the western powers, beg the question of who is behind the al-Qa’ida alumnus. Pundits are quick to accuse Saudi Arabia, but other informed sources point to Qatar and Turkey as the main culprits behind the violent takfiri terrorist cum non-state actor. Still others claim that the ISIL is a U.S. and U.K. trained, CIA- Mossad proxy force led by a Jewish operative.

Omar Khadr? your doppelganger, McCain

I'm not good with faces, but when I saw this one, I immediately thought of this guy


The Case of Omar Khadr: Summary + Timeline (abbreviated)
Omar Khadr is a Canadian citizen born in Ottawa, Ontario in 1986. Omar has been in the custody of the United States Department of Defense since he was 15 and has been detained at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba since he was 16 years old. The United States alleges that Omar’s father took him to meet Al-Qaeda leaders when Omar was ten years old, that he received military training, and fought in Afghanistan. In July 2002, Omar was captured by the U.S. military after its forces bombed and assaulted the compound in which he was living. The U.S. raid and subsequent firefight resulted in the death of a U.S. soldier and Omar being severely wounded. Thereafter, he was detained at Bagram Air Base.

Kadar lost a eye

like I said, I'm not good with faces, but a few months ago, this guy was in our Canadian papers daily, I saw him every day. He's on bail now, house arrest with his lawyer providing his surety, and his housing.
It's not just the face, but the body type as well, (and that sense of recognition of someone you know you know). May just be a case of all men look alike.

Google search will bring up hundreds of images of him. I just cant find one with him not smiling.

hope this is not out of line.
