Kurdish forces arrest several ISIS suspects near Hamrin Mountains
[Rudaw] A number of suspected 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) turbans were arrested in a Kurdish counter-terrorism operation carried out near the Hamrin Mountains, the Sulaimani-based force said on Wednesday.

"In the operation, which was carried out swiftly, precisely, and without casualties, the forces successfully arrested a number of suspects with a history of terrorist activities," the Sulaimani-based Counter-Terrorism Group (CTG) said in a statement.

It described one of the suspects as "a logistical officer" for ISIS "in a designated area," without disclosing further details.

The operation was carried out in cooperation with the US-led international coalition against ISIS.

The US-led global coalition provided both the Iraqi army and the Kurdish Peshmerga with air and ground support, as well as training and equipment, in the war against ISIS.
