Turkey Captures al-Baghdadi's Sister; Cat Steals Show during Monday Night Football
ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: Breaking news, a senior Turkish official tells CNN they have captured the sister of former ISIS leader al- Baghdadi, along with other family members in a raid in northern Syria. They're being interrogated and Turkey calls them an intelligence goldmine. Clashes continue along the Turkey-Syria border despite a fragile ceasefire that allowed Turkey to capture territory once held by U.S. backed Kurdish forces. Over the weekend, a car bomb went off, as you can see, in one Syrian city. It killed 19 people. Jomana Karadsheh is embedded with Turkish forces as they conduct a demining operation. Tell us what's happening, Jomana.</s>JOMANA KARADSHEH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, for more, Alisyn, on that raid, a senior Turkish official is telling us that Baghdadi's sister was captured, along with her husband and a daughter-in-law. They were captured in the town of Azaz (ph) in northern Syria in a housing container. And now they are basically -- Turkish authorities are interrogating them. And, as you mentioned, they believe that this could potentially be an intelligence gold mine. They're hoping to get insights into how ISIS operates. It's something that would help Turkey and Europe understand the threat that is caused by ISIS. Now, while ISIS does remain a serious threat for Turkey, another threat, officials say, is Kurdish separatists, Syrian Kurdish fighters who, up until recently, were operating in this area. We're in the town of Talabia (ph). As you recall, this was one of the locations that saw some seriously intense fighting when that Turkish offensive began on October the 9th. And it's been about three weeks since major combat operations came to an end here. But, still, we're seeing Turkish forces, who were embedded with, today, carrying out clearance operations. They're sweeping areas and sweeping them multiple times checking for explosives, for devices that have been left. And we are told by Turkish officials that they're finding explosives on a daily basis and diffusing them, anywhere between 10 to 100 devices on a daily basis according to a senior Turkish official. And just a short time ago, a car bomb, we're told, exploded in the center of the town of Telabia. This just coming a few days after that devastating car bomb attack that you mentioned took place at a marketplace, a civilian area where at least 19 people were killed in that attack on Saturday. Now, no one claimed that attack, but Turkey blames Kurdish fighters for that attack. The Syrian Democratic Forces, that mainly Syrian Kurdish fighting force, have denied any responsibility for that attack. But these kinds of missions right now are critical, especially as they're seeing civilians starting to return to their homes. According to the United Nations, more than 20,000 people have returned to the town of Telabia in the past few days. So this is what makes these clearing operations very critical, John.</s>JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: Jomana, please stay safe and keep us posted because the livelihood of these people who are returning is so important. Thank you very much. So the Cowboys beat the Giants on Monday night football thanks to the fact the Giants stink, and also they had an assist from a black cat. Really. Andy Scholes has more in the "Bleacher Report." Andy.</s>ANDY SCHOLES, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: Yes, good morning, John. You know, Halloween was last week, but the black cat's apparently still out at MetLife Stadium in New York. And this particular one apparently bad luck for the Giants. This little guy came onto the field with the Giants up 9-3 in the second quarter. And listen to this. Westwood One's Kevin Harlan had an all-time great radio call for the people listening at home.</s>KEVIN HARLAN, SPORTSCASTER, WESTWOOD ONE: Walking to the three, he's at the two, and the cat is in the CDW red zone. CDW. People who get it. Now a policeman. A state trooper has come on the field and the cat runs into the end zone. That is a touchdown! And the cat is elusive. Kind of like Barkley and Elliott. And the fans are running for their -- now it goes back on the field again. There's running in the back of the end zone. And runs up the tunnel.</s>SCHOLES: And the fact that Harlan mixed in a sponsor in that call, just incredible. Now, from that point on in the game, the Cowboys outscored the Giants 34-9. Dak Prescott throwing three touchdowns. Cowboys improve to 5-3 on the season. Dallas now won six straight over the Giants. And, John, I know how much you love to keep track of your New York sports teams. The Jets, Giants, Knicks and Nets a combined 7-24 right now.</s>BERMAN: Yes, the basketball team's, I think, have a future. The football teams may want to consider alternative employment. Andy, thank you very much for being with us.</s>CAMEROTA: That play by play was great. And it's a touchdown.</s>BERMAN: The cat, by the way, a better football player than any member of the Giants.</s>CAMEROTA: Well, the cat wasn't carrying the ball. The cat didn't have to catch the ball.</s>BERMAN: Yes, the Giants can't either. They don't either. So it's, you know, it's all the same.</s>CAMEROTA: Wow.</s>BERMAN: So President Trump has been fighting to keep his tax returns private. Now the case appears to be headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. At least the Supreme Court will decide if they get to hear it. We'll discuss, next.
