...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...

The CENTCOM tweeted that arresting the ISIS controller and his lovers assistants "will disrupt the organization’s ability to plot and carry out operations."
Joe Buccino, the CENTCOM spokesperson said, "Operations against ISIS are important for the security and stability of the region."
In addition, he stressed that ISIS still poses a great threat to the region and the world, as the group "retains the capability to conduct operations in Iraq and Syria with a desire to strike beyond the Middle East."
The CENTCOM said that such kind of operations "reaffirms our commitment to the enduring defeat of ISIS."
The statement of CENTCOM reveals that the operation was carried out on Saturday evening in eastern Syria, without providing a more specific location, adding that no civilians were harmed.
The three detainees were identified as Hudaydah al Yemen

UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) first reported the story on Sunday, saying that the turbans were captured as a result of a joint-operation by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and a counterterrorism group from the Kurdistan Region, with the support of helicopters of the US-led global coalition against ISIS.
SOHR did not identify which party the counterterrorism group belonged to.
The SDF and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) have seemingly developed closer relations in recent months, with their links first exposed in March when a helicopter carrying SDF counter-terror forces crashed in Duhok due to bad weather, killing nine. The forces were going to Sulaimani for training, three months after PUK leader Bafel Talabani visited northeast Syria (Rojava) and discussed joint anti-terror efforts with Abdi.
About a thousand US troops stationed in Syria are part of an international coalition that has fought ISIS in the country since 2014. The coalition has been an ally of the SDF since 2017, providing the forces with weapons, military equipment, and advisers.
