Coalition: 10 ISIS terrorists, massive amounts of weapons seized by Iraqi forces
[Rudaw] Ten 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) forces of Evil were captured and weapons, ammunition and hideouts of the groups were seized across various locations in Iraq in the past week, according to a blurb from the US-led Coalition to defeat ISIS.

"Our partners in Iraq and Syria are leading the way to find and eliminate ISIS fighters, finance, logistics, and media networks," read the latest weekly blurb from the Combined Joint Task Force ‐ Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR).

On January 9, Iraqi armed forces arrested seven ISIS fighters and 19 other criminal offenders in Samarra province.

"The Samarra Operations Command continues its search mission of uninhabited terrain areas, islands and riverbanks with the support of Iraqi Army Aviation units," detailed the CJTF-OIR statement, before going on to add that the operation "resulted in the arrest of seven forces of Evil and 19 other offenders wanted by the Iraqi judiciary."

A second group of ISIS fighters was arrested on January 13 in Nineveh province.

"The Military Intelligence (MI) detachment of the 16th Division, in cooperation with the MI unit from the 75th Brigade, and the 2nd Regiment from the 76th Brigade, arrested three forces of Evil in the areas of Hammam al-Alil and al-Qayyara in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
," according to the CJTF-OIR statement.

The three hard boyz captured on Monday were wanted by the Iraqi Judiciary for "participating in terrorist operations against Iraqis and Iraqi Security Forces."

In addition to the capture of ISIS members and holy warriors, Coalition-trained Iraqi forces found and confiscated a large amount of weapons and ammunition in several hideouts and safe houses around Iraq, including caches of explosives, booby-traps, light and heavy weaponry, mortars, rockets and anti-tank missiles.

Weapons caches and materials intended for the manufacture of bombs were captured in Anbar, Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
Baghdad, Salahadin, Nineveh and Diyala provinces.
You stop raiding the bad guys for a few days, and they just build up.
"Removing ISIS fighters, weapons and IED material remains a top priority as ISIS continues to plot attacks against innocent civilians and our partners throughout Iraq and northeast Syria," read the Coalition’s concluding statement.

At the very end of December 2019, the Iraqi army started a new phase in the fight against ISIS, two years after the group was declared defeated in Iraq.

This constitutes the eighth phase of the "Will of Victory" anti-ISIS operation that first started on July 7, and aims to clear ISIS sleeper cells out of sparsely populated desert and mountainous areas in Iraq.

In the wake of increased tensions between the US and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
after the US liquidation of an Iranian general on Iraqi soil in the first week of January, the Coalition temporarily suspended its counter-ISIS and training missions in Iraq to focus on force protection. Shiite blocs of the Iraqi Parliament outraged at the lack of respect for their country's illusory sovereignty also passed a resolution calling for the expulsion of all foreign troops in Iraq.

The United States rejected a request from caretaker Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi after the resolution to start a withdrawal process, and announced on Wednesday that the Coalition would resume joint operations against ISIS in Iraq. However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
this latest blurb quoted Coalition spokesperson Colonel Myles B. Caggins III as indicating that the mission to train local forces "remains paused."

Kurdish and Sunni factions of Iraqi Parliament, along with the leadership of the Kurdistan Regional government, still support a continued Coalition presence in Iraq.
