members in several regions.

"The sleeper cells of IS deployed in four regions in Diyala, including Hamreen, Waqf basin, al-Zour and al-Nada basin, have recently witnessed internal disputes as leaders seek dominating the whole group," Sadiq al-Husseini, head of the security committee of Diyala provincial council, told AlSumaria News on Friday.

"IS in Diyala disappears after its military presence is eliminated . Only sporadic cells are there," Husseini added.

On Wednesday, Husseini said in remarks that an intelligence team managed to infiltrate the Hamreen Mountains area and killed IS commando chief in the province.

An IS leader and his lover companion were reportedly killed last week as festivities broke out between the group’s elite leaders in Um al-Sharr in Mutaibija, on borders between Diyala and Salahuddin.
