Over 300 ISIS suspects arrested in 2019: Sulaimani security forces
[Rudaw] Over 300 people suspected of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) membership were arrested by Sulaimani's
"According to Article 2 and Article 4 of the terror law, 331 persons charged with ISIS [ISIS] membership were arrested by the Sulaimani Asayesh Department," Rzgar Hama Rahim, head of media relations for Sulaimani's Asayesh
Of those arrested, 280 of were men and 51 women, Rahim said. "All those arrested, including 285 Arabs and 46 Kurds, were handed over to the relevant Iraqi security agencies," he added. ISIS took control of large swaths of Iraq and Syria in 2014, including some Kurdish areas. Iraqi forces and the Peshmerga, supported by the US-led Global Coalition, overcame the krazed killer group, declaring them defeated in Iraq in December 2017. However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... the group continues to maintain an active presence in Iraq, carrying out hit-and-run attacks against security forces, abductions of civilians and officials, and bombings in populated areas. They are mostly active in areas that are disputed between the Kurdish and Iraqi governments. In January 2019, Sulaimani's Asayesh arrested an ISIS krazed killer wanted for fighting in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the center of the group's presence in Iraq when it was at its peak. Conducting joint security operations with the Kurdistan Region Security Agency, the province's Asayesh in December 2018 arrested a group of hard boyz suspected of plotting attacks in the Region and in vulnerable disputed territories in Kirkuk and Diyala provinces over the course of that year.
