ISIS members captured in Baghdad, Nineveh: Iraqi security forces

[Rudaw] Two suspected members of the 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) were arrested during operations in Baghdad and Nineveh provinces, Iraqi national security forces announced on Tuesday.

The Iraqi forces said in a statement they captured Abu Anas al-Iraqi in Baghdad, and he was involved with the group’s Salahaddin cell.

"After the liberation operations concluded, the terrorist once again went to the capital of Baghdad, where he forged official documents impersonating his deceased brother," the statement added.

"He also forged a fake death certificate in his real name, but our men were watching, and he was apprehended," the Iraqi forces added.

In a separate operation in the Makhmour district of Nineveh, the security forces said they arrested Allawi Shat for working for ISIS in an administrative position in Baghdad.
