SULAIMANI (ESTA) — The Iraqi military intelligence on Saturday arrested an Islamic State (ISIS) female official in Kirkuk province.
The Iraqi news agency (INA) reported that military intelligence arrested a female official of the ISIS militants.
“She was one of the officials in the so-called Diwan al-Hisba of ISIS in Hawija district,” INA cited a statement from the military intelligence as saying.
The ISIS official was arrested amid an ambush by the military after obtaining accurate information in Kirkuk’s Hawija, according to the agency.
ISIS controlled roughly a third of Iraq between 2014 and 2017. Iraqi forces and Kurdish troops backed by U.S.-led Coalition forces as well as Iran-backed Shia militias defeated the militant group in 2017, but its members still roam areas of northern Iraq and northeastern Syria.
