Iraqi counter-terrorism forces arrest high-ranking ISIS official in Fallujah
2020-01-20
[Rudaw] Iraqi counter terrorism forces (ICTS) announced on Sunday that they captured a high-ranking 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) security official in Fallujah,
... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids...
while at least one Iraqi soldier was killed by an ISIS attack in south of Kirkuk on Saturday.

Iraqi counter terrorism forces announced in a tweet on Sunday that the unnamed ISIS security official for Fallujah was arrested in the city itself.

The arrest follows the capture of senior ISIS mufti Shifa al-Nima in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...

The Iraqi Security Media Cell also revealed on Saturday that one Iraqi soldier had been killed after ISIS holy warriors attacked an army checkpoint in southern Kirkuk.

"Members of the ISIS terrorist attacked a checkpoint point belonging to the 1st Company of the 3rd Regiment in the 45th brigade in the Iraqi army, in the area of Tal al-Deeb in the province of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
which led to the martyrdom of one of the soldiers from the 3rd Regiment." Iraqi Security Media Cell tweeted.

Kirkuk has seen a spate of ISIS attacks in recent months, with sleeper cell offensives killing both civilians and military personnel.
