4 ISIS elements arrested in central Baghdad

Iraqi forces arrested four "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) elements in a joint police and Counter-Terrorism Service operation in central Baghdad, the Interior Ministry said Wednesday (May 30th).

“Security forces arrested four ISIS elements at a rented house in central Baghdad where they were planning terrorist operations in the capital,” ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Saad Maan told Diyaruna.

The Counter-Terrorism Service and Baghdad police carried out the operation based on an intelligence tip-off alerting them to the presence of the ISIS elements, who were using fake IDs, he said.

The security forces seized weapons and other items, he said, adding that information about the group's movement was found on their cell phones.
