[AlMasdar] The infamous ’ghost’ emir of the so-called "Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
" (ISIS) has been captured by the Ottoman Turkish security forces near the Syrian border, the Daily Sabah reported on Monday.

According to the Daily Sabah report, the Islamic State commander, Eyup Baksi, was captured by the Adana police forces after a five month long hunt for the terrorist.

Also known as the "Adana emir", Baksi ran a small wing of the Islamic State from the southern Ottoman Turkish city of Adana; his whereabouts were later revealed by former members of the group.

Baksi was said to have been captured by the Ottoman Turkish police inside the garden of a private hospital in the city of Adana.

No further details were released at this time.
