Puntland Forces Capture ISIS Members Involved in Extortion and Bombings
|
[Garowe] Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
security forces have captured members of the 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) accused of extorting money and carrying out bombings in Bosaso, Bari region Police Commander Colonel Abdikadir Jama Dirir said on Wednesday.
Speaking to news hounds, Dirir said the arrests were part of a large-scale operation targeting ISIS in the city, conducted with support from local residents. He described the effort as a success in curbing the group’s activities but did not disclose the number of detainees.
The commander added that the campaign aims to dismantle both ISIS and al-Shabaab
... the personification of Somali state failure...
in Bosaso, noting that several individuals who fled the Calmiskaad mountains are now in jug. ISIS has long extorted money from locals, often under the guise of "Zakat," targeting those who refused payment, he said.
Local reports suggest traders who once paid the fees have stopped since the operation began in the Calmiskaad mountains, restricting the group’s movements. Bosaso, a commercial hub in Puntland, has faced persistent security threats from Death Eater groups.
Puntland authorities provided no further details on the ongoing operations.
