| [SHAFAQ] A force from the Iraqi National Security Services apprehended a senior ISIS terrorist after a long manhunt throughout three governorates. A statement issued earlier today, Monday, by the Security Media Cell (SMC) said that the terrorist served in a variety of different positions in the terrorist organization, most prominently the "General Prince" to the Shamiya, Raqqa, Badiya, Saladin, and Baghdad provinces. The arrestee confessed to orchestrating many terrorist operations against civilians and security forces, in addition to his intentions to devise terrorist plots against targets in Baghdad.
The INNS published a video of the arrest and alleged confession of the accused, who joined a terrorist group known as "Ansar al-Sunna"
The suspect had held several positions within the terror group, he claimed, the most important of which was the so-called Emir of Baghdad. He also served as the Emir of several other areas, including Raqqa – the terror group’s Syrian capital – and confessed that he was planning to carry out several attacks in Baghdad. One of his main tasks was to recruit new members for the extremist group, he added. | ||
