CIA got tip on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's location from arrest of a wife and a courier

The surprising information about Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's general location - in a village deep inside a part of northwestern Syria controlled by rival Qaida groups - came following the arrest and interrogation of one of his wives and a courier this past summer, two US officials said. The Syrian and Iraqi Kurds, an official said, provided more intelligence for the raid than any single country.
