BBC. The sister of former Islamic State group (IS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been captured in northern Syria, Turkish officials say.
The 65-year-old, named as Rasmiya Awad, was detained in a raid on Monday near the town of Azaz, officials said.
Turkish officials, cited by multiple media outlets, said the arrest could yield valuable intelligence about IS.
Baghdadi killed himself during a raid by US special forces on his compound in north-west Syria last month.
