SDF arrests ISIS cell in Syria's Raqqa
2021-05-01
[NPASYRIA] On Thursday night, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) arrested a cell affiliated with ISIS in the city of Raqqa, northern Syria.

The SDF Media Center published confessions, including by the cell leader, who talked about their activities in Raqqa city during the last period.

The operations carried out by the cell included targeting a military vehicle, public properties, and a number of vital facilities in Raqqa.

According to the confessions, the cell received financial support and military instructions directly from the so-called "al-Shayib" who lives in al-Bab city, in the eastern countryside of Aleppo, which is under Ottoman Turkish-backed gangs.

Several days ago, the Internal Security Forces (Asayish) found a warehouse for the manufacture and storage of explosive shells and improvised bombs in the al-Karama area, 30 km east of Raqqa.

In mid-April, the SDF arrested a cell belonging to ISIS in Raqqa which was planning to carry out "sabotage operations" during the month of Ramadan.
