Informant Proved He Had Access to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi By Stealing His Underwear

Kurdish-led forces allied with the United States provided information — including used underwear for a DNA analysis — that was key to the operation that killed the Islamic State group's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Kurdish forces in Syria said Monday, according to NBC News.

In an interview with NBC News, Gen. Mazloum Abdi of the Syrian Democratic Forces said his intelligence service had a source deep in al-Baghdadi's inner circle who described a room-by-room layout of the terror leader's compound on the Turkish border, including the number of guards, floor plan and tunnels.

Kurdish intelligence operatives who managed the source passed that information to American forces, giving U.S. Special Ops a better understanding of al-Baghdadi's safe house before striking it, according to Abdi.

Abdi said the unidentified source was on location during the raid and left with the attacking U.S. forces.

The source, whom Abdi described as one of al-Baghdadi's security advisers, proved to U.S. intelligence that he had direct access to al-Baghdadi this summer by turning over the ISIS leader's used underwear and later a sample of his blood.

  1. Obama needed Osama killed and Trump needed his boogie man killed.

  2. Whether or not Abu Bakr is dead, alive or ever existed is not important to the propaganda machine. The important aspect is a boogeyman. Isis and Abu replaced Al Qaeda and Osama. The reported deaths of both are quite similar. Also similar is how they have both been killed multiple times.

    Here is a little time line on Abu:
