A former wife of the Islamic State’s leader was released Tuesday after more than year in custody in Lebanon as part of a prisoner swap involving Lebanese security forces held captive by militants in Syria.
Lebanese authorities handed over Saja al-Dulaimi, an Iraqi who was briefly married to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the presumed head of the Islamic State. Along with Dulaimi was a group of mostly Islamist detainees, according to officials in Lebanon’s military.
In return, Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliate released 16 Lebanese soldiers and policemen captured more than a year ago near the Syrian border, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity, citing lack of authorization to discuss the issue.
