[Rudaw] Kurdish security forces on Friday announced the arrest of a "big terrorist" who played a key role in the 2014 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....
(ISIS) takeover of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
The suspect was identified as Soqrat Khalil Ismail, 37, known by ISIS as Abdullah the Explosive because when he joined the group in 2013 he was responsible for explosives.
"He played a key role in the ISIS invasion of Mosul in June 2014," the Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC) said in a statement announcing his arrest.
"We were a group of 300 people when we attacked Mosul in 2014. Abu Lais was our commander," he said in a video confession.
He is also accused of assuming several top positions on the ranks of ISIS, including emir.
Ismail remained in Mosul, fighting Iraqi forces who liberated it in 2017. After the territorial defeat of ISIS in Iraq, he went to Syria where he held various security positions, according to the statement.
In 2018, he returned to Mosul with a fake passport to collect five million dollars ISIS had hidden in Mosul. After handing the money over to ISIS leaders in Baghdad, he travelled to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
, again using a fake passport.
"After staying in Turkey for a couple months, I could not stay more and wanted to return to Iraq - Kirkuk or Baghdad," he noted. His friends did not welcome him back to Kirkuk so he returned to Turkey and lived there for five years.
Again, he wanted to leave Turkey and travelled to the Kurdistan Region with a fake passport, where he was arrested.
