the wife of the elusive Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdad, has been reportedly detained at the Lebanese-Syrian border, Lebanese security officials said on Tuesday.
Baghdadi’s wife was held along with one of his sons. She is Syrian and is the ISIS leader's second wife, Al Arabiya News Channel reported.
"Military intelligence detained one of his wives, who was travelling with their son, near (Lebanese border town) Arsal 10 days ago ," the source told Agence France-Presse.
Lebanese newspaper As-Safir reported the army had detained her in coordination with "foreign intelligence apparatus".
Earlier this year, photos of one of Baghdadi’s wives surfaced online, offering a glimpse into the private life of the self-proclaimed “caliph.”
It is not clear however whether Saja Hamid al-Dulaimi, the woman identified in the images, is the currently detained wife of Baghdadi. It is unclear how many wives the ISIS leader has.
He doesn't care. I'm sure he's like "sacrifice her for the greater good."
