SDF arrests several ISIS suspects during ongoing operation
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Tuesday announced the arrest of several 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) suspects during a recently-launched operation against the group in northeast Syria (Rojava).

The SDF on Thursday announced a new anti-ISIS mission dubbed Operation al-Jazeera Thunderbolt, targeting the terror group’s hotspots in northeast Syria’s al-Hol and Tal Hamis. The force later expanded the campaign to Syria-Iraq borders.

"More than 63 km was swept along the desert east of the al-Hol, where ISIS cells could use it for hiding," the US-backed force said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The joint forces raided possible hideouts, arresting three suspects who were, according to initial information, linked to ISIS terrorist cells. The arrestees were referred to investigation to inspect their true identities," read the statement.

The SDF also said that its forces arrested two other ISIS suspects who were hiding in a house. They are accused of being "responsible for manufacturing IEDs and VBIEDs for targeting military points and security patrols in al-Hasaka and Deir Ezzor countryside."

Four "criminals" were also arrested who have allegedly carried out kidnappings, looting and extortion in Hasaka, said the Kurdish-led force without elaborating whether they were affiliated to ISIS.

The SDF has made tens of ISIS arrests since the launch of the operation which has followed fresh deadly attacks by the terror group.
