(FNA, 18/5/2016) ~ Several non-Syrian members of the ISIL, including their Iraqi commander, were arrested by the Syrian Army troops in a camp of Iraqi refugees, intelligence sources said Wednesday.
“Mustafa Ahmed Murshid, who had fled Iraq and had hidden among the Iraqi refugees coming from al-Sajariyeh East of Ramadi, was captured by the Syrian army men,” the sources said, adding, “The Syrian soldiers, tipped off by one of the tribal leaders about presence of Murshid and some of his comrades among the Iraqi families in a refugee camp, stormed the tent of Murshid and arrested him.”“Five ISIL members from Caucasus, a Tunisian, a Turkish and another Iraqi militant were also arrested by the army,” the sources said, adding, “Mursihd was wounded on his leg in the army’s attack.”
Iraq’s local sources disclosed on Tuesday that the leader of the ISIL terrorist group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, returned to Iraq from Syria and hid in Nineveh province.
“Al-Baghdadi and a group of ISIL commanders have stealthily returned to Iraq’s Nineveh province,” an unnamed local Iraqi source said.“Al-Baghdadi has returned to Nineveh province through ISIL-controlled desert roads in Iraq and Syria,” added the source.
The ISIL Leader is running a secret life as his life is at stake more than anyone in the world now. Al-Baghdad’s terrorist group is under massive airstrike by the Syrian, Russian and Iraqi Air Forces all throughout the Western Iraq and Eastern Syria.
While reports earlier this year said the ISIL leader was always on the move between Iraq’s Mosul and Syria’s Raqqa – the self-proclaimed capital of the terrorist group – tips and intel revealed in November that Al-Baghdadi had moved from the Syrian city of Albu Kamal to the Iraqi city of Mosul in Nineveh province.
