Info about ISIS leader's location came from one of his wives

The surprising information about Islamic State (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s general location came following the arrest and interrogation of one of al-Baghdadi’s wives and a courier this past summer, two American officials told The New York Times on Sunday.

Armed with that initial tip, the CIA worked closely with Iraqi and Kurdish intelligence officials in Iraq and Syria to identify Baghdadi’s more precise whereabouts and to put spies in place to monitor his periodic movements, allowing American commandos to stage an assault Saturday in which Baghdadi died.
