ISIS leader captured in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor

[Rudaw] 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) leader was arrested in the province of Deir ez-Zor in northeast Syria (Rojava), the Kurdish administration announced on Saturday.

Kurdish-led internal security (Asayish) launched an operation in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor with the assistance of the US-led global coalition, where they captured the ISIS leader along with a cache of weapons and ammunition.

The Asayish said that the preliminary investigations into the captured leader are complete and he will be referred to the judiciary.

The Asayish did not reveal the name of the leader or his role in the group.

ISIS ~~bandidos~~ holy warriors have continued to pose a threat, carrying out hit-and-run attacks on civilians and military targets of both the Syrian regime and the Kurdish-led authority.

Since the start of this year, ISIS has carried out over 80 attacks targeting the SDF and Rojava’s administration, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
