Iraq inspects its prison in the wake of Hasakah riots
2022-01-31


Rudaw adds:
Iraqi counter-terrorism forces on Sunday announced that they had launched a major campaign to inspect prisons on the orders of the Iraqi premier Mustafa al-Kadhimi. These measures to secure Iraqi prisons from potential security gaps follow a major prison siege by 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) group in Hasaka, northeast Syria (Rojava).

"After the recent security developments in the Syrian city of Hasaka, in which ISIS elements tried to escape from the 'Sina'a prison' ... units of the counter-terrorism service launched a major campaign to inspect Iraqi prisons in several provinces, which began on the 22nd of January and continued until the 30th," the counter-terrorism forces announced on Sunday, as reported by state media.

ISIS detainees led an audacious attack on the al-Sina'a prison in Hasaka's Ghweran neighborhood on Friday, January 21st. The facility housed around 5,000 ISIS members at the time of the incursion, and the major escape attempt raised significant concern about the terror group's capabilities, despite their complete lack of territorial control.

An additional 5,000 other murderous Moslems are held by the SDF in other jails.

"The intelligence of the [Iraqi] Counter-Terrorism Service participated in this campaign, which obtained important and precise information related to terrorist cells who are trying to create a foothold in our country," continued the statement.
