ISIS militant captured in Sulaimani in joint operation with Iraqi units
[Rudaw] Iraq security officials announced Thursday that an 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) holy warrior was captured in Sulaimani province in a joint operation by Iraqi counterterrorism and Kurdish units, with another holy warrior apprehended in a separate operation in Anbar. The detainee fought many battles for the group, Iraq’s Security Media Cell said in a statement, adding he "holds a military position in the so-called Anbar principality," a term used by the group to denote areas under its control. Units from Iraq’s Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) and the Kurdish security forces (Asayish) participated in the joint operations, according to the statement. Iraqi and Kurdish security forces have carried out numerous joint raids against ISIS in recent years, primarily in Sulaimani. In a separate sting, the CTS apprehended another ISIS holy warrior in Iraq’s western Anbar province. Posted by: trailing wife 2024-10-18 |
