Iraq to try 11 officers over granting IDs to ISIS members
2025-08-25
[Rudaw] Iraq’s interior ministry on Saturday said that 11 officers are set to stand trial after discovering that they allegedly provided national identification cards to 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) members in Anbar province when the group controlled the area.

"Violations were discovered in the registration of some cases and their exploitation in granting national IDs to ISIS terrorist gangs during the period of their control over courts and health departments," the ministry said in a statement, and 11 officers were referred to court.

The cards were issued in Anbar’s al-Qaim district, which borders Syria, and the ministry asserted that the IDs were revoked.

The vast western Anbar province, which partly borders Syria, is a known hotspot for ISIS bad boys, with the jihadists continuing to operate from hideouts in the desert.

Last year, a major joint operation by the Iraqi army and US forces in Anbar killed 16 ISIS members, and the US military later said that the raid killed four ISIS leaders.
