Erdogan Announces Turkish Capture of IS Leader's Wife VOA News Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday that Turkish forces have captured a wife of former Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was killed during a U.S. special forces raid in Syria. In a nationally televised address from Ankara, Erdogan said, "we captured his wife and didn't make a fuss like them (the U.S.) Similarly, we also captured his sister and didn't make a fuss like them." Erdogan said the U.S. "launched a gigantic communication campaign" about its late October military raid during which the leader of IS, Baghdadi, was killed.
