Kurdish Security Council says arrested ISIS official in Makhmour
|
[Rudaw] The Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC) on Saturday announced the arrest of 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) official near Makhmour district, southwest of the capital Erbil.
Zidan Khalifa Ahmad Matar (also known as Abu Laila) was emir of the group’s Saad Bin Abi Waqqas sector of the so-called Tigris state and was operating near Mount Qarachogh in Makhmour, the security council said in a video released on Facebook.
He was arrested on September 6.
Khalifa joined ISIS in 2014. He was responsible for a mortar detachment and participated in battles against Peshmerga forces in Makhmour, according to the KRSC. In 2017 he was put in charge of an ISIS checkpoint near Mount Qarachogh with instructions to carry out liquidations and abduct civilians for ransom.
Mount Qarachogh is located within an area where there is a security vacuum between the Kurdish Peshmerga and Iraqi federal forces. ISIS has taken advantage of the situation to harass local residents and carry out attacks. The federal budget passed earlier this year includes funds for joint Peshmerga-Iraq brigades to combat ISIS in these areas.
