Al-Baghdadi's underwear was DNA tested before US raid

Islamic State pioneer Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's underwear was acquired by a cover source and DNA tested to assure his identification before activity by US powers to kill him, a counselor to the Syrian Democratic Forces said on Monday.

Polat Can, a senior counsel to the Kurdish-drove SDF, gave subtleties on Twitter about how SDF knowledge work had found Baghdadi, whose demise was declared by US President Donald Trump on Sunday.

"Our very own source, who had the option to arrive at al-Baghdadi, brought al-Baghdadi's clothing to direct a DNA test and ensure (100%) that the individual being referred to was al-Baghdadi himself."

Trump has said that the Kurds gave some data "supportive" to the activity.

Furthermore, as per sources the SDF had been working since May 15 with the CIA to follow Baghdadi and figured out how to affirm that he had moved from Deir al-Zor in eastern Syria to Idlib, where he was slaughtered.

Baghdadi had been going to change area to the Syrian town of Jarablus when the activity occurred, he said.

According to Can, "All knowledge and access to al-Baghdadi just as the distinguishing proof of his place, were the consequence of our work. Our insight source was engaged with sending organizes, coordinating the airdrop, taking an interest in and making the activity a triumph until the latest possible time”.
