ANBAR / Aswat al-Iraq: The al-Anbar Police Department personnel on Saturday captured the interior minister of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) group during a security operation in eastern al-Falluja, a police official said.
"The detained man is suspected of involvement in the murder of several civilians and policemen and is considered the mastermind behind bringing car bombs into Anbar," Karkhi said. He added that Fahl, who is on a list of most wanted 1,000 persons, is also responsible for activities of armed groups in the province. The predominantly Sunni province of al-Anbar lies 110 km north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. | |
