Kurdish General: Informant Stole ISIS Leader al-Baghdadi’s Underwear for U.S.
2019-10-30
More on this report from yesterday.
[Breitbart] A Kurdish general revealed Monday that an informant stole the underwear of ISIS
...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...
 leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to prove to his credibility U.S. intelligence.
And interesting choice...
Speaking to NBC News, Gen. Mazloum Abdi of the Syrian Democratic Forces, said his intelligence unit had a source who was privy to the layout of al-Baghdadi’s secret compound near the Ottoman Turkish border. According to Abdi, the source passed along such details to U.S. Special Ops, who used it to formulate their plans to strike the terror chief’s hideout over the weekend.
Al-Baghdadi: "Chattel? Have you seen my Tommy John's?"
Chattel: "Yes, you've worn them every day for the last two weeks. (Ewwww)"
"The source, whom Abdi described as one of al-Baghdadi’s security advisers,
“He was named Mohammed or Mahmoud... something like that.”
proved to U.S. intelligence that he had direct access to al-Baghdadi this summer by turning over the ISIS leader’s used underwear and later a sample of his blood,"
The used panties I understand (though ick!), but I can’t imagine the level of tradecraft that allowed him to take a blood sample from the miscreant and walk out with it.
NBC News reports. "U.S. intelligence tested those samples and got positive DNA matches for al-Baghdadi, kicking the hunt into high gear. The informant stole the underwear about three months ago and the blood sample was taken roughly one month ago, a Kurdish official said."

The revelation comes after President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
 confirmed Sunday morning that al-Baghdadi was killed in a U.S. military operation in northwest Syria.

#5  Have we heard from the animal rights types yet ? For sending in ramboesque doggies to war ? Activism should be arriving in the form of a documentary about their 'plight' anytime now.

"I'm the emir's bachabitch ! I have to sniff it and say allan o' slacker every night ! That's our ... uhh, game."

"I'm a pakistani, man. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen, ok ?"

#2  Why not just go commando?

#1  So, from now on, major terrorists will have sequential numbers dyed into their underwear (maybe UPC code) and constantly scan their laundry inventory for missing briefs. If one is missing they then high tale it to another war venue?
