...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

group (ISIS) arrested a suspected financier of the terror group in Syria’s eastern province of Deir ez-Zor, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said on Wednesday.
"This morning has seen yet another successful #Asayish operation supported by the @Coalition," read a tweet from the Kurdish-led SDF, referring to local security forces and their international allies. "An #ISIS financier has been captured in #DeirEzzour, stopping the funding of terror and protecting the people."
Kurdish forces in northeast Syria (Rojava), in coordination with the coalition, have carried out a number of recent raids against ISIS. Two days ago, the SDF said they arrested 57 ISIS suspects in October, prevented two boom-mobiles, and foiled ISIS prison breaks and "a new outbreak of terror."
The increased military operations against ISIS signal a surge in the group’s activities in the region.
According to the latest Pentagon report on the fight against ISIS, the bully boys’ activities "significantly" decreased from July to September 2021, but, citing the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), it said "there were signs that the group is ’poised to increase activity in the coming quarter after a period of recuperation and recovery.’"
"The DIA said that ISIS moved some of its fighters during the quarter from the Syrian desert back into Iraq and northeastern Syria, which ISIS perceives to be important operating environments," added the report.
