"The inspection and confrontation operation resulted in the killing of six prominent leaders of the terrorist gangs," spokesperson to the counter-terrorism apparatus Sabah al-Numan told Iraqi state media, identifying the most prominent leader killed as Abu Maryam al-Qahtani, the group’s so-called general administrator of Salahaddin province.

Numan added that their teams have found a set of documents during their operations that revealed the "financing of terrorist gangs and the methods of communication used in the current period."
