Her capture is said to a success for the intelligence agencies as she was a member of the banned terror outfit. Currently, the adult members of the family are being interrogated in an undisclosed location. In the coming days more information is expected to come out of her.
Al Baghdadi was killed in an US raid last month in the Idlib province of Syria. Many ISIS fighters have escaped in the last few months following the terror group’s loss.
