Wife of late ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi:
"My husband didn't have extremist ideas ... but his mentality changed after he was arrested and detained by US forces."
Mohammed said she married al-Baghdadi in 1999, adding that he was pursuing a master’s degree at an Islamic university during that period.
She described him as an ordinary individual without any extremist inclinations. However, Mohammed claimed that everything changed after al-Baghdadi was apprehended by US forces in 2004 “for no reason.”
According to her, his ideology underwent a profound transformation during his one-year incarceration.
