(ISIS) snuffies have been arrested by the Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (ICTS), it announced on Saturday, with two arrests made in coordination with internal security forces (Asayish) in Sulaimani.
Two ISIS members were arrested "in coordination with the Asayish of Sulaimani province" it said in a statement. Six arrests were also made in Anbar and Kirkuk.
There have been numerous arrests of ISIS-linked members across the Kurdistan Region before.
Erbil and Baghdad agreed in May to coordinate on security in the disputed areas by forming joint cooperation centers and launching joints operations. Several centers have already been opened.
