Iraq 'nets 40 ISIS operatives' in major swoop
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iraq's intelligence service said Thursday it detained 40 members of the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group as part of a major operation in Baghdad and Diyala provinces. "The Iraqi national intelligence service, in coordination with Baghdad and Diyala security forces, carried out an operation which resulted in the arrest of 40 members of varying rank," a statement said. Diyala is a province just northeast of the capital where ISIS has not had fixed positions in almost a year but has carried out several deadly suicide boom-mobileings. "Many bombs, suicide belts and cars used by the holy warriors were seized, as well as large amounts of money they used to fund their criminal activities," the statement said. The intelligence service said the detained ISIS members had requested assistance from cells in other parts of the country, suggesting the group is weakened in Baghdad. The swoop was the continuation of an operation that had already resulted in more than 30 arrests and the dismantling of a boom-mobile-making cell in Baghdad in March. Posted by: Fred 2015-12-25 |
