Turkey has captured the sister of slain ISIS leader, Abu Bakr-al-Baghdadi,  in a raid carried out near Syrian border town of  Azaz yesterday, 4 Nov.
 
Rasmiya Awad, 65, is being held in an undisclosed location,  along with her husband, 5 children and daughter-in-law, who were also detained.
 
According to Reuters, Turkey is interrogating Rasmiya for what the authorities say will be a "trove of intelligence".
 
Baghdadi, who led ISIS for past five years, killed himself last month, when US forces in a raid, cornered him in a tunnel.

Following the killing, ISIS, in an audio tape posted online on Thursday confirmed that its leader had died and vowed revenge against US.
