Erdogan: Al-Baghdadi's inner circle trying to enter Turkey

None

Turkey's president says members of slain Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's "inner circle" are trying to enter Turkey from Syria.

 

Recep Tayyip Erdogan also says the number of people with family ties to al-Baghdadi who've been caught by Turkey "is close to reaching double digits."

 

Erdogan's comments Thursday were his second effort in as many days to publicize Turkey's push to catch IS members who were close to al-Baghdadi.
