SDF captures ISIS leader in southern Hasakah

[NPASYRIA] The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Monday arresting a leader of the Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) in a ground-and-air operation in the southern countryside of Hasakah, northeast Syria.

The SDF Media Center said in a statement that on May 8, the SDF Special Units carried out an operation that resulted in "dismantling an ISIS terrorist cell in the town of al-Dashisha," south of Hasakah.

The operation was backed by air surveillance and ground support by the US-led Global Coalition, the SDF statement said, adding that the units captured the leader of the ISIS cell and an accompanying suspect.

The ISIS leader "had been actively planning terrorist attacks against our military, security forces, and civilians," the statement said. He facilitated the movement of ISIS cells and "was directly responsible for their activities" in southern Hasakah and northern Deir ez-Zor.

The statement said that the SDF units discovered "weapons, technical equipment, and incriminating documents solidifying his affiliation with ISIS."
