    Per BBC News - In 2004 "Baghdadi reportedly led prayers, delivered sermons and taught religious classes while in detention. He was considered a low-level threat by the US and was released after 10 months."

    "He was a street thug when we picked him up in 2004," a Pentagon official told the New York Times in 2014. "It's hard to imagine we could have had a crystal ball then that would tell us he'd become head of [IS]."

    Google not finding any mention that he was in any prison after that. Dark Web Search maybe? Enemy propaganda?

    Probably some Capt. signed a form BER/45/3 to get him out of the chow line. That's often how it works in real life.

    Sometimes it's better to not know how intelligence is gathered.

    "A Kurdish official on Monday said the SDF provided crucial intelligence from a source who infiltrated Baghdadi's house, bringing out underwear that provided positive DNA identification."

    Trump says Baghdadi's top replacement also killed
