ISIS executioner captured in Saladin operation: Iraqi army
|
[Rudaw] Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) captured a senior 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) executioner in Saladin province on Monday, according to defense officials.
The ISF conducted a "successful ambush" near the town of Dujail in southern Saladin, the Iraqi Security Media Cell said in a tweet.

"During a military operation, a unit from the Samarra Operations Command was able to arrest a terrorist who was previously working as an executions officer in ISIS," the cell said.
"This operation comes after a tight ambush was placed on him on the highway near the Dujail district, and all legal measures have been taken against him," it added.
Rudaw English has contacted defense officials to determine the identity of the ISIS executioner and details about his capture but is yet to receive a reply.
Kurdish security forces in Garmiyan announced the arrest of a local ISIS leader on April 3 who confessed to taking part in several attacks on Peshmerga forces in the Diyala towns of Jalawla and Qaratapa.
Mahmoud Khurshid, 68, also known as Abu Ali, was arrested by the Garmiyan Asayesh Forces on March 16 in the town of Rizgari, Kalar. His arrest was only announced in early April, however, after he made a confession.
"He has the blood of Peshmerga forces on his hands," Brig. Gen. Nawshirwan Ahmed said at the time.
Despite Iraq’s coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
 ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
lockdown measures and the US-led coalition’s withdrawal from several bases across Iraq, the ISF has stepped up its operations against ISIS remnants active in the country’s remote deserts and mountains.
ISIS has tried to exploit the pandemic and the US drawdown to launch hit-and-run attacks on Iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga positions in the disputed territories. The rival forces remain unwilling to cooperate on security.
Monday’s ISF operation in Saladin was launched to clear ISIS hideouts, bomb factories, and arms caches.
It began in the city of Samara before pushing east and southeast. The operation is ongoing, involving Border Patrol Units, Saladin Operation Command, Samara Operation Command, Hashd al-Shaabi paramilitias, Iraqi federal police units, and the Iraqi Air Force.
According to security media cell, bomb factories were discovered in Mateebja and elsewhere in the province.
Between January 1 and April 15, the ISF carried out 1,060 operations and killed 135 targets, defense ministry spokesperson Yehia Rasool said last week.
At least 88 ISF soldiers were killed and 174 maimed during these operations. During the same period, 82 non-combatants were killed and 120 injured.
In a phone call with Rudaw English on Wednesday, Rasool claimed all of the civilian casualties were the result of ISIS attacks and explosives.
"No civilians died due to Iraqi Security Forces military operations," he said at the time.
