ANKARA
Turkey captured the wife of late Daesh/ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Wednesday.
“I am announcing for the first time, we captured the wife of Baghdadi as well,” Erdogan told a ceremony in the capital Ankara.
Erdogan said the U.S. had turned the killing of Baghdadi into a campaign whereas Turkey which had captured the slain Daesh leader’s sister, wife and brother-in-law was refraining from this.
The Turkish president described a terrorist as someone who sheds the blood of innocent people for their own perverted goal.
