Sulaimani security forces arrest three ISIS suspects
[Rudaw] Three 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 by Kurdish security forces (Asayish) in separate operations in Sulaimani province, the Asayish said on Friday.

"In three separate operations and in coordination with the Iraqi national security forces, three wanted holy warriors were arrested in the areas of Sulaimani, Chamchamal, and Sharazur," Colonel Salam Abdulkhaliq, head of the Sulaimani-based Asayish media team, told Rudaw.

All three suspects "were active members of the ISIS organization," Abdulkhaliq said.

ISIS seized control of swathes of Iraqi land in 2014. The group was declared territorially defeated in 2017 but it continues to carry out bombings, hit-and-run attacks, and abductions.

The snuffies have taken shelter in an area of land stretching across the provinces of Salahaddin, Diyala, Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
and Nineveh where there is a security vacuum because it is disputed between Baghdad and Erbil.

Kurdish and Iraqi security forces frequently cooperate and carry out joint operations against ISIS cells in the Kurdistan Region.

Thousands of people have been detained across Iraq since 2014 for suspected links to krazed killer groups, including ISIS, and hundreds have been executed.
