A senior Turkish official is announcing that his country has captured the older sister of Islamic State Leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

al-Baghdadi was killed in a U.S. raid last month.

His 65-year old sister, known as Rasmiya Awad was captured in a raid on a trailer container where she lived with her family in the town of Azaz, a region run by Turkey.
