The Joint Operations Command in Iraq announced on Tuesday the arrest of the financial official of the terrorist organization “ISIS” in the country.
The Command’s statement said, “Through intelligence efforts, including monitoring and tracking operations, the heroes of the Counter-Terrorism Service were able to arrest the so-called financial administrative official in the ISIS terrorist headquarters.”
The ISIS-linked terrorist, whose name was not revealed, was arrested after he entered Iraq in a forged passport and other travel documents, the statement added.
By the end of 2017, Iraq declared victory over ISIS by reclaiming the territories it had controlled since the summer of 2014, covering about a third of Iraq’s territory.
However, the organization is still active in the provinces of Anbar (west), Salah al-Din and Kirkuk (north), and Diyala (east). The government is conducting security and military operations to eliminate the terrorist operations within the country.
