/ The third wife of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Nour Ibrahim, revealed on Saturday more about the man who terrorized the world from 2014 until his death in a US strike in Syria in 2019.
He married her on the day of his speech in Nineveh.
Nour, the daughter of ISIS leader Abu Abdullah al-Zubaie, said in an interview broadcast by Al Arabiya and followed by Agency, “Al-Baghdadi married her when she was 14 years old,” noting that the “legitimate look” was before his famous speech in Nineveh.
She added, “The ISIS leader married her on the same day of his famous speech in Nineveh,” noting that “she lived with his wives and nine captives in the same house.”
She added that she “was forced to stay with al-Baghdadi when he was at the top of the wanted lists.”
“Problems with his Syrian and Chechen wives”
She pointed out that “major problems arose with his wife from Aleppo, until al-Baghdadi separated his Chechen and Syrian wives in a different house.”
She explained in the interview that “the family of the slain ISIS leader did not receive any personal protection during their travel from Iraq to Syria and then to Turkey.”
She repeated what his daughter Umaima and his first wife Asma had said in their previous interviews about their attempt to escape to Turkey, before al-Baghdadi asked for his Syrian and Chechen wives to be returned to Syria, while Nour and Asma (the Iraqis) remained in Turkey.
“State of marriages”
As for the large number of marriages of the organization’s leaders, she saw that “the alleged Islamic State has become a state of marriages.”
Nour Ibrahim narrated how Al-Baghdadi spent his day at home, noting that “he would stay alone in his room all day long, and he would only communicate with his women at night.”
“Phones are prohibited”
She pointed out that “phones were completely banned inside Al-Baghdadi’s house.”
The leader of the organization, which controlled vast areas in Iraq and Syria in 2014, declaring his alleged “caliphate” at the time, and imposing his extremist laws, was killed in October 2019, after the United States carried out a special operation in Idlib Governorate, northwest Syria. US President Donald Trump announced at the time that a US commando team had tracked and pursued him, but he blew himself up along with his two wives and son.
The organization was defeated in 2017 when Baghdad declared victory over it and its defeat, but some of its cells are still active in some scattered areas.
