Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) have captured a high-ranking member of the ISIS terrorist group who oversaw its finances and served as an ISIS deputy leader under the late Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Iraqi officials announced.
“While our ISF heroes focused on securing the elections, their INIS [Iraqi National Intelligence Services] colleagues were conducting a complex external operation to capture Sami Jasim, who was in charge of Daesh finance, and a deputy of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi,” Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi said in a statement on Monday, one day after the country held a parliamentary election. Daesh is another name for ISIS.
