Sami Jasim arrested

The news was announced by Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi on Twitter.

- While our heroes focused on securing the elections, their colleagues (Iraqi national intelligence services) conducted a complex operation to capture Sami Jasim - the Prime Minister wrote, but did not reveal the details of the operation.

Baghdadi was killed in a raid by US special forces in northwestern Syria in 2019, and the US State Department then offered a 5 million dollar reward for the information on the location of Islamic State leaders which they had identified, including Jasim.
