Official: ISIS appoint secret police to marshal Mosul
2015-04-25
[Rudaw] Leaders of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
have decided to establish secret police forces allegedly aimed at thwarting anti-ISIS resistance cells that have reportedly been assassinating the group's emirs and officers, a Kurdish official has told Rudaw.

"Daesh gunnies were organizing a group of secret police during the group's latest meeting," Saeed Mamozini, the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party branch 14 in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, said on Friday, using an Arabic acronym for ISIS.

"These so-called secret police will be set out all over Mosul province. They are reportedly allowed to shave their beards and even talk against ISIS, aiming to remain secretive", Mamozini has explained.

"They can even appear as beggars," he added.

A source inside the ISIS-held city of Mosul who spoke on condition of anonymity told Rudaw the force was established to hunt down anti-ISIS fighters who are apparently murdering ISIS leaders.

Most anti-ISIS gangs choose to keep their existence in secret, the source said, but recent reports suggest their role in killing several top jihadist fugures inside Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq which has been held by ISIS since last summer.

An armed anti-ISIS group called the Free Officers Movement (FOM) on Thursday grabbed credit for the liquidation of the military attache of His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
, the self-proclaimed caliph of the Islamic State.

The FOM was established in June by 490 former officers of the Baathist regime in order to confront ISIS in Mosul.

Over the past two months, the group has claimed the killing of several ISIS leaders and in November took responsibility for the liquidation of Abu Shahab al Suri, the ISIS leader then in command of the western part of Mosul city.
