Kayla Mueller’s Parents Say They’re Grateful After US Raid Results In Terrorist Leader’s Death

The family of a woman who was repeatedly abused and terrorized by Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi say they are grateful after President Donald Trump confirmed terrorist’s death.

Baghdadi reportedly raped and tortured Arizona aid worker Kayla Mueller, who was taken hostage in 2013. Kayla Mueller’s family is thankful for the Trump administration’s swift action but say they still want to know what happened to their daughter, who reportedly died in 2015.

“She was held in many prisons,” Kayla Mueller’s father, Carl Mueller, told reporters Sunday after hearing the news. “She was held in solitary confinement. She was tortured. She was intimidated. She was ultimately raped by al-Baghdadi himself.”

Kayla Mueller’s mother had some choice words for former President Barack Obama, who she claims didn’t do enough to free her daughter.

“I still say Kayla should be here, and if Obama had been as decisive as President Trump, maybe she would have been,” Marsha Mueller told reporters.

“For me what matters most I’m hoping now we will finally get the answers we have been asking for all along,” Marsha Mueller added. “I think this administration truly might help us. I don’t think they are as closed about what happened.”

Baghdadi has been hiding out near the border of Turkey for roughly five years, with his last appearance coming in April when he was seen in an ISIS propaganda video. Another video from 2014 appeared to show the Baghdadi speaking in Iraq.
