US forces capture ISIS leader who was helping fighters escape from Syrian detention center amid terror group's bid for revival

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] US forces have captured an ISIS leader who was helping fighters escape from a Syrian detention center.

Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Monday that it had captured 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....
'controller' Khaled Ahmed al-Danal on September 1 with support from Syria Democratic Forces (SDF).

Al-Danal was 'assessed to be aiding efforts of detained IS fighters' days after five ISIS faceless myrmidons held in the Raqqah Detention Facility escaped on August 29.

The attempts to free their fighters held in detention is part of the terror group's bid to fuel 'ISIS revival', CENTCOM said.

ISIS faceless myrmidons recently grabbed credit for string of shocking attacks in Germany and Russia as well as a foiled terror plot on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna.

The SDF have since recaptured two of the escapees: Russian national Imam Abdulwahed Akhwan and Muhammad Noh Muhammad from Libya.

But three ISIS fighters - Timor Talbrken Abdash, from Russia, and Shuab Muhammad al-Abdli and Atal Khaled Za, both Afghans, - remain on the lam.

'Over 9,000 ISIS detainees remain in over 20 SDF detention facilities in Syria, a literal and figurative "ISIS Army" in detention,' said Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, a CENTCOM Commander.
