Islamic State (IS) chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's school report card has been found in the Iraqi city of Samarra that purports to show the grades of the IS leader.
The report card shows Baghdadi was strong in mathematics and geography, reported Stuff.co.nz.
The official from Samarra's department of education spoke on the condition of anonymity and said that he was not allowed to share the information with the media.
He also said that the certificate, that marked the student's behavior as "good" and showed an 80 percent average score, was original and genuine.
The report card is under the name Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim and says that he was born Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim al-Badri in 1971 in Samarra, a city about 130 kilometres north of Baghdad.
The passport size photo on the report card shows a man with thick eyebrows bearing stark resemblance to the IS chief.
The document shows that Baghdadi graduated in the year 1991 at the age of 19 or 20.
