Al-Baghdadi's Sister Captured in Northern Syria

Sister of slain ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi  has been captured Monday in Northern Syria, according to a senior Turkish official.

In exclusive statements to “Reuters” news agency, the official added that Rasmiya Awad, 65, was arrested in a raid near Azaz town, a Turkish-controlled Syrian area near the border.

“When captured, she was also accompanied by five children,” he confirmed. “Her husband and daughter-in-law were also arrested in the same operation, and are being interrogated by Turkish authorities”

Noteworthy, the US authorities have disposed the remains of killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi by burying them at sea, according to a Pentagon official.

Al Baghdadi died in a US raid in northwestern Syria two weeks ago, after igniting his suicide belt, killing himself, his two wives and 3 children.

The initial planning for the raid began last summer, as a commando unit of the Army Delta force began to develop training plans for a covert mission to kill or capture the ISIS leader, with enormous obstacles anticipated.

His hideout was deep inside al-Qaeda-controlled territory. The skies over this area are also under the control of Syria and Russia.

The US leadership canceled the operation at least two times at the last minute, according to the New York Times newspaper.
