The man is an Arab. His true identity will never be revealed, for if that ever happened he would be a dead man. He has decided to betray al-Baghdadi because a loved one has been killed by ISIS, and the Arab wants revenge.

But just as important, he wants the $25 million reward for al-Baghdadi’s capture or death.

The man contacts the CIA through the shadowy world of the global intelligence community. The would-be informant claims al-Baghdadi trusts him and holds him in the highest regard. The anonymous informer wishes to help capture the ISIS leader and is even willing to personally take part in the raid, leading US soldiers through the inside rooms and pointing out tunnel locations. To prove his knowledge, the Arab informs American intelligence that the compound has internet access, paid for in cash to the local service provider at a rate of $8 per month. Al-Baghdadi’s personal username is “mhrab.” His children play online video games.

But the CIA wants more. They think this may be a setup. So, the informant is asked to do something very unusual: provide a pair of al-Baghdadi’s underwear.

He returns with an unwashed, white, baggy garment that extends from the waist to below the knee.

That, however, is still not enough for the CIA.

Federal agents demand a sample of al-Baghdadi’s blood.

Amazingly, the informant comes back with a second stolen item, this time a used bandage.

Both items match DNA known to have come from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.*

So it is that, in summer of 2019, the CIA and the American military begin planning a mission to capture the ISIS leader. It will be the most significant raid on a terrorist since Osama bin Laden’s demise eight years before. The comparison is apt—no jihadist since bin Laden has been as successful at remaining hidden while also being in command of his terrorist outfit.
