ISIS leader, suspects arrested across Iraq
[Rudaw] Iraqi forces on Monday arrested an 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) leader along with several suspects in Iraq, a military official said as the terror group continues to pose a threat across the country.

Iraqi counter-terrorism services arrested three ISIS suspects in Anbar and caught two others in Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
Iraq’s top military spokesperson Yehia Rasool said.

The forces also "brought in" two other suspects affiliated to the group with the assistance of the Kurdistan Region’s counter-terrorism directorate, Rasool added, without disclosing further details.

The counter-terror forces have also arrested a prominent ISIS leader, according to Rasool, saying the forces would share more information regarding the figure in the near future.

ISIS remnants are particularly active in parts of northern Iraq that are disputed by Erbil and Baghdad, including in the provinces of Kirkuk, Diyala, and Salahaddin.

The terror group grabbed credit for an attack on a village in southern Kirkuk, saying they have killed at least three civilians and injured four others.
