| [Rudaw] At least 27 people, including suspected members of the Islamic State (ISIS), were arrested in a security operation by Kurdish security forces (Asayish) in the northern Raqqa province, the force said on Saturday. “As part of the ongoing efforts to enhance security and stability in our areas, our security forces carried out a large-scale security campaign east of Raqqa … resulting in the arrest of 27 people, some of whom belonged to these [ISIS] cells and other criminals in the area,” the Asayish said in a statement. The arrests come as ISIS cells attempt to exploit the security vacuum created in *kparts of the country after the downfall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, particularly in desert areas which the former regime used to loosely control. |
