A woman and a son of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamist group ISIL, were arrested in Lebanon near the border with Syria there ten days. In any case says a Lebanese military source.
"One of the women Baghdadi is owned with his son at the center of the military intelligence service Yarzé (near Beirut) after being arrested with a forged identity card. It must be questioned, "said the source quoted by AFP. "This young Syrian nationality woman was arrested by the military intelligence services while traveling with his son, aged 8 or 9, near (the Sunni border town) of Arsal there ten days."
Also according to the source, the information could not be independently verified by euronews, it would be the second wife of Baghdadi.
However, since these statements, doubts were expressed by journalists and experts in the area:
The following tweet said a source in the Lebanese Air Force confirms that this woman arrested, traveling with "two boys and a girl" is not the wife of Baghdadi.
The situation should become clearer soon: DNA tests are being analyzed to determine whether Baghdadi is the father of the child, according to Reuters citing another military senior source in Lebanon.
Baghdadi, the leader of ISIL Group has self-proclaimed "Caliph" of all Muslims on June 29 and leader of an "Islamic state" including large parts of Syria and Iraq came under the control the jihadist group. The latter is now the most powerful, rich and brutal terrorist network in the world, having freed the Al Qaeda network.
Arsal, the border town where the second wife and son were arrested Baghdadi is, according to AFP one of the only places in a Shiite Sunni environment. It supported the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while much of the Shia Hezbollah in particular supports the Syrian regime.
