Iraq’s armed forces caught the so-called “Emir Tigger” – one of the leaders of the terrorist group “Islamic State” (IG, prohibited in Russia). This was told by Lieutenant-General Yahya Rasul (Yehia Rasool) in his twitter .
During the mission in the central Iraq, the armed forces of the country managed to track down the terrorist and arrange an ambush. “Thanks to the efforts of heroes from the counter-terrorist service, we arrested a new” Emir of the Tiger Region “,” said Rasul.
In addition, the special services managed to destroy the three motorcycles and the tunnel, which captured the militants. Rasul recalled that another Emir was killed earlier in Iraq during the next operation.

Iraqi security forces continue to pursue the remnants of militants throughout the country. Thus, in May 2020, the special services of the country announced the capture of the terrorist named Abdel Nasser Kardash – the possible successor of the eliminated leader of the IGU Abu Bakre Al-Bagdadi.
