Reports: Wife and Son of ISIS Leader al-Baghdadi detained in Lebanon

The Lebanese military has detained a wife and son of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, reports said Tuesday days ago according to Reuters.

The detentions took place near Lebanon's border with Syria, the news agencies Reuters and Agence France-Presse reported, citing unidentified Lebanese security officials.
 
No details were available on the names or nationalities of the woman or the son. It was unclear when the two were picked up by Lebanese forces.
 
Al-Baghdadi is believed to be based in Syria and has gone by a variety of aliases during his career in terrorism. It's not clear how many wives and children he might have.
 
The U.S. government's Reward's for Justice program, which refers to him as "Abu Du'a," offers $10 million for information leading to his arrest.
