Erdogan: Turkey arrested slain ISIS leader Baghdadi's wife, other relatives

Turkey's president on Wednesday announced the country's forces had captured multiple relatives of slain ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, including one of the terrorist's wives -- but he also used the occasion to needle the United States for making "a fuss" about the mission that resulted in the most-wanted militant's death.

During a speech in Ankara, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the arrest of one of Baghdadi's wives and confirmed previous reports that the terrorist's sister and brother-in-law had also been taken into custody by Turkey.

Turkish officials said they detained Baghdadi’s older sister, Rasmiya Awad, on Monday. She was with her husband, daughter-in-law and five children when she was taken into custody.

Baghdadi, the Associated Press says, was known to have four wives.
