The mother of an aid worker who was captured by the ISIS terrorist group praised President Donald Trump for authorizing the raid to kill ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi over the weekend. At the same time, she criticized former President Obama’s handling of her daughter’s capture about six years ago.

Kayla Mueller, a humanitarian worker from Arizona, was captured while she left a hospital in Aleppo and is believed to have been tortured and raped by al-Baghdadi himself until she died about a year and a half later.
