Six Islamic State suspects arrested in Chamchammal raids this week: Sulaimani security
[Rudaw] Six 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) Death Eaters were arrested in Sulaimani province earlier this week, the Kurdistan Region Security Agency announced on Saturday.

The six men were arrested in two raids by Sulaimani's Asayesh Operation Forces in and around the town of Chamchammal on August 4 and 5, according to a Kurdistan Region Security Agency statement published by PUKMedia.

The arrests were made "based on information and continued precise monitoring of the Kurdistan Region Asayesh, and the Sulaimani Asayesh Operation Forces, associated with the Kurdistan Region Security Agency," the statement said.

The suspected ISIS fighters were from the south of Iraq, the statement said, and had settled in the Chamchammal area, about 65 kilometers west of Sulaimani, using forged documents and working as gardeners.

"According to the obtained information, the apprehended holy warriors had fled from southern Iraq and intended to build a hideout in Chamchamal to establish a route to get connected with a number of ISIS sleeper cells to reorganize themselves and carry out their activities. But their plots were foiled before they managed to do it," the statement added.

Though its activities have centered on territories disputed by the governments of the Kurdistan Region and Iraq, Kurdish security forces have apprehended Death Eaters in raids in areas under KRG control since that territorial defeat.

But some anti-ISIS operations by Kurdish security forces have not been publicly announced, according to Saturday's statement.

"The Kurdistan Region Security Agency has previously apprehended many other holy warriors in Sulaimani, the Garmiyan administration region and other towns and cities of the Region in which we have kept the information secret for the sake of the safety, continued investigations and the security of the people," it added.
