(ISIS) in the capital of Baghdad, as security forces continue to pursue the faceless myrmidons countrywide.

A force from the PMF "was able to overthrow a prominent leader in the remnants of the terrorist ISIS in the province of Baghdad," it said in a statement, identifying the suspect by the initials "A.B.R."

He is accused of assisting another ISIS official in southern Baghdad and has been referred to court for legal procedures, the statement added.
