Lebanon holding IS leader's daughter and ex-wife.

Lebanon said the woman in detention had been married to
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for three months
DNA tests confirm Lebanon is holding the young
daughter of Islamic State (IS) leader Abu Bakr al-
Baghdadi, the country's interior minister says.
Nohad Machnouk told Lebanon's MTV television that the
child's mother, who is also in custody, was now believed
to be one of Baghdadi's ex-wives.
On Tuesday, Lebanese security officials said they had
detained his wife and son at a border crossing with Syria.
But Iraq's government later insisted the woman was not
married to Baghdadi.
It said the woman - identified as Saja al-Dulaimi - was the
daughter of an active member of al-Qaeda's affiliate in
Syria, al-Nusra Front.
She is also thought to have been detained by the Syrian
authorities before being freed in March as part of a prisoner
exchange with al-Nusra.
Pregnant
Late on Wednesday, Mr Machnouk told MTV that Ms
Dulaimi had been travelling with two sons and a daughter
when they were detained by the army two weeks ago.
"Dulaimi is not Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's wife currently. She
has been married three times: first to a man from the
former Iraqi regime, with whom she had two sons," he
said.
"Six years ago she married Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for three
months, and she had a daughter with him. Now, she is
married to a Palestinian and she is pregnant with his
child."
The minister added: "We conducted DNA tests on her and
the daughter, which showed she was the mother of the
girl, and that the girl is [Baghdadi's] daughter, based on
DNA from Baghdadi from Iraq."
It is not clear how the Iraqi authorities have the IS leader's
DNA. However, in 2005 he was arrested by US forces in
Iraq and spent the next four years a prisoner at Camp
Bucca, near the southern town of Um Qasr, before being
handed over to the Iraqi authorities and then released.
Mr Machnouk said Ms Dulaimi's children were staying at a
care centre while she was being interrogated at the defence
ministry's headquarters.
IS has not commented on their detention, but al-Nusra has
condemned it.
One Lebanese official has said it is a "powerful card to
apply pressure" in negotiations with IS and al-Nusra, who
are holding more than 20 Lebanese soldiers and police
hostage. They are threatening to kill them unless militants
are freed from Lebanese jails.
