    IRBIL (Kurdistan 24) - Two Iraqi security sources revealed that Iraqi intelligence teams, during their long pursuit of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, achieved a breakthrough in 2018 after a senior aide to al-Baghdadi gave them information on how to escape detention for years.
    Ismail al-Ithawi told officials after being arrested by the Turkish authorities and handed over to Iraqis that Baghdadi sometimes held strategic talks with his commanders inside minibuses loaded with vegetables to avoid detection.
    "Al-Ithawi provided valuable information that helped the team of multiple security agencies in Iraq complete the missing parts of the Baghdadi movement and where he was hiding," Reuters quoted an Iraqi security official as saying.
    "Al-Ithawi gave us details of five men, including them, who were meeting Baghdadi inside Syria and the different locations they used," he said.
    US President Donald Trump said on Sunday Baghdadi died "crying and screaming" in an attack by US special forces in Idlib, northwest Syria.
    In a televised White House speech, Trump said Baghdadi and three of his children were killed in a raid by detonating an explosive vest after fleeing into a dead-end tunnel.
    Al-Ithawi, a doctorate in Islamic sciences, was regarded by Iraqi intelligence officials as one of the top five aides to the leader. Al-Ithawi joined al-Qaeda in 2006 and was detained by US forces in 2008 and imprisoned for four years, according to Iraqi security officials.
    Baghdadi was later assigned to al-Ithawi with key roles such as providing religious instruction and selecting leaders of the Islamic State. After the group largely collapsed in 2017, al-Ithawi fled to Syria with his Syrian wife.
    Another turning point occurred earlier this year during a joint operation in which US, Turkish and Iraqi intelligence forces arrested senior ISIS leaders, including four Iraqis and a Syrian, the Iraqi security officials said.
    "They gave us all the locations where they were meeting with al-Baghdadi inside Syria and we decided to coordinate with the CIA to deploy more sources inside these areas," said one Iraqi official, who has close ties to multiple security services.
    `` In mid-2019 we were able to identify Idlib as a location where Baghdadi was moving from village to village with his family and three close aides, '' he said.
    He said that informants in Syria then spotted an Iraqi man wearing a multicolored headscarf in a market in Idlib and identified him from a photo. The man was al-Ithawi and was followed by informants to the house where al-Baghdadi lived.
    "We conveyed the details to the CIA, which has used a satellite and drones to monitor the site over the past five months," the official said.
    Two days ago, Baghdadi left the site with his family for the first time, traveling by minibus to a nearby village.
    "There were his last moments alive," the official said.
    Iraqi officials said Iraqi intelligence had obtained valuable information from detainees who had led a secret site in the Iraqi desert containing documents about Baghdadi's location and movements.
    "We learned of Baghdadi's location after the arrest of an Iraqi and an Iraqi from the close circle," he said.
