"Special Operations troops killed ISIS leader Abu Sayyaf during a raid in eastern Syria back in May last year and captured his wife, Umm Sayyaf.
"Sayyaf is still being held by the Kurdistan Regional Government an was charged last month with being part of a conspiracy resulting in the death of Kayla Mueller, 26, an American aid worker.
"Mueller had been captured by ISIS in 2013 and was kept as a sex slave by the Sayyafs and repeatedly raped by ISIS' self-proclaimed emir, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, while in his custody.
"The detainee, who has not been identified, has been in custody for the last two or three weeks at a temporary structure in the norther Iraqi city of Erbil.
"U.S. forces, who are holding the prisoner, will interrogate them for the next several weeks before turning them over to Iraqi or Kurdish authorities, the operative is the first target to be captured by a 200-strong team led by elite Delta Force troops, which is known as the 'expeditionary targeting force', since deploying in Iraq in recent weeks.
