If this was taken in 2019, then he wasn't in US custody. Therefore it was not taken by the US government. ― Tartan357 Talk 09:55, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Unsure about the copyright status, however, DVIDS indicates that it's public domain, it is conflicting information though. MakhzenHuman (talk) 14:55, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

- Despite the fact that it is a "courtesy photo", it is located in the PD, as indicated on the file page on the DoD website. Maybe the author of the photo passed it to PD? Roman Kubanskiy (talk) 20:46, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Photos have to be in the public domain in both the US and their source country to be hosted on Commons (COM:PD). So even if the US government claims it's PD (perhaps because ISIS is deemed a terrorist org?), they don't necessarily have the right to make it so. This is dated 2019, when Al-Baghdadi was the single most wanted man in the world being hunted by the US Government, so I doubt they had any direct access to or communication with people close to him. Without more clarity on where this came from, it seems likely it is an ISIS-produced photo. ― Tartan357 Talk 04:26, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
