Iraq’s interim prime minister announced on Monday the arrest of a suspected high-ranking financial leader of ISIS who was detained outside of Iraq.
Mustafa al Kadhimi , Iraq’s interim prime minister who came to power last year, tweeted the news that Sami Jasim was in custody.
“While our ISF heroes focused on securing the elections, their INIS 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,” the tweet read. “Long live Iraq, and our brave heroes.”
