Similarly, we also captured his sister and brother in law in Syria,\u201d he said in a speech at Ankara University. He gave no details.<br \/>A senior Turkish official said earlier this week that Turkey had captured Al-Baghdadi\u2019s sister, her husband and daughter-in-law, and hoped to gain intelligence from them about Daesh, although Ankara has not said what knowledge they may have had about the group\u2019s operations.<br \/>Al-Baghdadi rose from obscurity to lead the ultra-hard-line group and declare a caliphate, holding sway over huge areas of Iraq and Syria from 2014-2017 before Daesh\u2019s control was wrested away by a US-led coalition.<br \/>World leaders have welcomed his death, but they and security experts warned that the group, which carried out atrocities against their enemies and religious minorities s, remained a security threat in Syria and beyond.<br \/>Last month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said two of Al-Baghdadi\u2019s wives had also been killed at the site of last month\u2019s raid.<br \/>The group said a successor to Al-Baghdadi, identified as Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashemi Al-Quraishi, had been appointed.
