'ISIS supremo Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was my husband' Woman's shock confession

'ISIS supremo Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was my husband' Woman's shock confession
01.04.2016 18:36
Until 2014 Saja al-Dulaimi thought her former hubby was a university lecturer when she was arrested for sneaking into Lebanon on forged papers.

In detention al-Dulaimi was shown pictures of al-Baghdadi – who she called Hisham Mohammad – and asked if she recognised the man.

"It turns out I was married to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,” al-Dulaimi said.

"It was a shock to find out – seven years later – that I’d been married to the most dangerous man in the world.”

The pair married after al-Dulaimi lost her first husband – a solider for the Iraqi Resistance group – in battle one year after they wed.

She was left alone to raise to young twin boys.

Her uncle arranged for them to be married after he said he knew a man who was looking for a wife.

After only three months of marriage she fled.

"One can say that I escaped from him. I didn’t love him,” al-Dulaimi added, in an interview with Swedish newspaper Expressen.

"You couldn’t have a discussion with him or hold a conversation with him.

"Sometimes he disappeared for a few days.”

"He just asked about things and told me to fetch things. He gave orders, nothing more.”

She also added he was "a normal family man”.

"How he could become emir of the most dangerous terrorist organisation in the world is a mystery,” she said.

Al-Dulaimi claims al-Baghdadi last contacted her in 2009 – asking her if she wanted to come back to him. 

Earlier this year it was claimed al-Baghdadi repeatedly raped an American aid worker who later died after she became his sex slave.

The shocking claim has been filed by US prosecutors in charges brought against the wife of a senior ISIS leader Abu Sayyaf.
