A day after Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed reports that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's wife, sister and brother-in-law were detained, he said a DNA test proved one of his children was in custody as well.
Turkey has announced the capture of at least four family members of former Islamic State militant group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in as many days this week, claiming a resounding victory against a group it's been accused of empowering in the first place.
"Much dark propaganda against Turkey has been circulating to raise doubts about our resolve against Daesh. We have been leading in the fight against terrorism in all its forms," he added, using the Arabic-language acronym for ISIS."Our strong counter-terrorism cooperation with like-minded partners can never be questioned."
Baghdadi died after fleeing into a tunnel and detonating a suicide vest, killing him along with two of his children. Two of his wives also killed during the raid.
