Lebanese authorities state that they have detained a wife and suspected son of the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. They have had the pair for several days, and she is currently being questioned.
The woman is a Syrian citizen, and her arrest has happened while ISIS and Nusra Front is trying to encourage Lebanon to release Islamic extremist prisoners being held by Lebanese authorities with a swap of captured Lebanese soldiers.
Earlier this week the Nusra Front threatened to kill one of the soldiers it is holding captive.
Al-Baghdadi's first wife is believed to be Iraqi citizen Saja al-Dulaimi, who was reportedly held by Syrian authorities and freed in a prisoner exchange with the Nusra Front earlier this year.
