Ash Carter: ISIS Leader's 'Days Are Numbered'

Secretary of Defense Ash Carter predicts ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi' s "days are numbered."

In an interview with Charlie Rose on PBS, Carter reveals al-Baghdadi "moves around."

"If I knew exactly where he was, first of all, I would tell you and second of all, he wouldn't have long," Carter said.

"I'm just confident. I don't want to say any more than that, but I wouldn't want to be a senior ISIL leader. Many of them have died already.

"The more we do, the more we learn about where they are. So, his days are numbered and that's true of all the rest of the leadership."

CNN reported on Dec. 29 that a U.S. official revealed: "In the last few weeks we've been aware of some of al-Baghdadi's movements.
