INIS captures high-profile ISIS terrorist, Abu Talha, outside of Iraq
2023-05-06
[Shafaq News] In a successful intelligence operation, the Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) reported on Friday that they have captured Mustafa Khaled Muhammad, also known as Abu Talha,
...one of many who chose that nom de guerre...
a high-profile terrorist, outside of Iraq.
Pulling a Mossad, are they?
Abu Talha is a member of ISIS's Diwan al-Jund (Soldiers Department) and the Abu Laith Brigade Ansari in Nineveh state.
Idle hands being the Devil’s workshop, he has kept himself busy.
The operation to track Abu Talha was coordinated with an intelligence agency in another country.
Ooooooohhh — how mysterious!
The Agency did not mention the other country but described it as a "brotherly country to Iraq."
That precludes appears to preclude both Mossad and the CIA.
After his capture, Abu Talha was brought back to Iraq and handed over to the judicial authorities for further investigation and prosecution.
Maybe Syria, Iran, or Syrian Kurdistan? Turkey would have arrested him themselves, then handed him over with great fanfare.

#1  Too many Abu Talhas (the original a compatriot of Muhammad). They don't last long.
(1) Abu Talha al-Sudani (Tariq Abdullah), born in Sudan. Explosive expert Killed.
(2) Abu Talha Al-Libi. Killed near Sabha in southern Libya.
(3) Abu Talha (Muhammad Khalaf Shakar), Captured Mosul 2005.
I'm sure there are others.
