Just days after Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi was killed in Syria, his older sister has reportedly been captured alive in the same country.
Identified as Rasmiya Awad, 65-years-old, elder sister of Baghdadi, was arrested in a raid near the northern Syrian town of Azaz, in the province of Aleppo, located near the border, which is controlled by the Turks, where she lived with her husband and relatives, the official said.
"We hope to gather a trove of intelligence from Baghdadi's sister on the inner workings of ISIS", Reuters quoted the Turkish official as saying. A senior Turkish official called this arrest an intelligence "gold mine".
Further, the official said the adults are being grilled, as per government protocol.
Little independent information is available on Baghdadi's sister and Reuters was not immediately able to verify if the captured individual was her.
This area is a part of the region which was under Turkey's administration for chasing Kurdish troops and ISIS militants (which were started in 2016) after military infiltration.

If it's not a complete social media meltdown , it's a uniform violation. Just a few hours after the sport, the Browns issued an announcement.
In keeping with Trump, Baghdadi detonated his suicide vest after fleeing right into a tunnel throughout a U.S. raid on his hideout in Syria's Idlib province.
Allied Syrian groups manage the area known as the Euphrates Shield zone. What she knows about (IS) can significantly expand our understanding of the group and help us catch more bad guys, " the official said.
Trump added that Baghdadi committed suicide by detonating a suicide vest inside a tunnel following a two-hour-long gunfight with USA forces.
After al-Baghdadi's death, the ISIS revealed the name of their new leader, a successor to Baghdadi- Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, appointed as new ISIS leader.
Al Baghdadi's aide, a Saudi, was killed hours after the raid, also in northwestern Syria, in a United States strike.
