Days after ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was cornered and killed by the US Army in a military operation in Syria, Turkey has claimed that it has captured the elder sister of the terrorist near Azaz, a town in Syria.
As per the official who publicised the news, Baghdadi’s sister Rasmiya Awad was accompanied by her husband, daughter in law and five children. The official further said that her arrest is “gold mine” of intelligence for the world fighting against terrorism.
“What she knows about (IS) can significantly expand our understanding of the group and help us catch more bad guys,” the official said.
As of now, Rasmiya and other adults are being interrogated by Turkish forces. To note, the region from where she was purportedly captured is administered by Turkey.
