Mozambican Authorities Arrest 15 ISCAP
[INTELLIGENCEBRIEFS] Mozambican military announced that its troop active in the restive Province of Cabo Delgado arrested at least fifteen members of the 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Central Africa Province active in the northmost province. The 15 were arrested in Pemba City following an operation that was geared at arresting members of the terror organization.

Preliminary intelligence indicates that the arrested jihadists had arrived in Pemba for recon ahead of attacks by the group. The arrests are a huge milestone in the introductory counterinsurgency strategies as the members are expected to give insight into the elusive group that has been terrorizing residents of Cabo Delgado.

Additionally, the arrests are a piece of welcome good news even as the news of police and military brutality in the already affected areas rock the counterinsurgency campaign launched last month. Residents have retreated from their homes as allegations against the military and police of extortion, looting and, unwarranted arrested, assaults and intimidation continue to characterize the fight against ISCAP in Cabo Delgado.

Nonetheless, the arrest alongside the recent stipend to boost military morale announced by President Nyusi are primary steps in decapitating the violent mostly peaceful campaign by ISCAP.
