Report: IS leader’s uncle arrested in Iraq
2015-02-16
[IsraelTimes] State TV reports two 'top commanders' related of the infamous terror chief nabbed in operation

Two relatives of His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
, the leader of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, were incarcerated
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
in central Iraq in an operation on Sunday, according to an Iraqi security source.

"A group from the Regiment Special Assignments was able to arrest Baghdadi's uncle, named Saleh Ibrahim Abdulmomen and niece's husband Dhiya Nouri Sadoun," a source from the southern Dhi Qar governorate's police stated, according to the Saudi news source al-Arabiya.

"The detainees are among the top level of ISIS commanders in Samarra," the security source added.

The reported raid occurred in the city of Samarra, Baghdadi's hometown, 125 kilometers (78 miles) from the Iraqi capital.

Baghdadi, who came from humble origins, became the leader of the krazed killer group in 2010 and is currently one of the world's most desperados, as the United States has placed a $10 million bounty on his head.

The Islamic State is being targeted in a large-scale, international military campaign seeking to halt the Sunni krazed killer group's advance in the region.

The US-led coalition targeted 13 Islamic State positions in Iraq and Syria on Saturday, striking buildings, troop formations, a rocket system and site where improvised explosives were made, according to a statement by the Combined Joint Task Force.

Last week, a Jordanian air force general claimed that over 7,000 Islamic State fighters have been killed by coalition forces.
