«Breaking News» ISIS commander code-named 'Prince of Battles' is captured in Iraq

An ISIS commander known as the Prince of Battles because of the number of attacks he took part in has been captured in Iraq, local media reports. 

The terrorist was arrested on Sunday in western Mosul having fled to Iraq from Syria, where ISIS is staging its last stand.

He 'was involved in several fights against security forces in Anbar province' which sits along the border with Syria, Iraq's Alghad Press agency reported.

Mosul became a stronghold for ISIS after the terror group captured it in 2014 in an assault which announced the group to the world as a major security threat. 

It was from the minaret of Mosul's Great Mosque of al-Nuri that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi proclaimed ISIS's 'caliphate' before the city was recaptured in 2017, though not before the terror group destroyed the mosque. 

Now, with it's so-called caliphate in ruins, many ISIS fighters have fled back into Iraq in the hopes of fighting a guerrilla war against the government.

Following the Prince of Battle's capture, the Iraqi Military Intelligence Directorate said: 'The so-called Islamic State’s prince of battles was apprehended in Rabia district, west of Mosul.

'He has just returned from Syria, where he escaped after the liberation of Iraqi territories from the terrorist group.'

At the height of its power, ISIS controlled a swathe of territory that covered much of northern Iraq stretching to the outskirts of Baghadad, across to Aleppo in Syria.

But attacks by American-backed coalition forces, including the Kurds, and Russian-backed government forces, including Iran, has driven the group back.

At its height ISIS controlled a swathe of territory across Iraq and Syria but has since collapsed and now controls a small enclave near the town of Baghouz, Syria, which is surrounded (file)

It has now lost 99 per cent of the territory it once controlled and is staging a last holdout near Baghouz, in Syria.

Every day, hundreds of fighters, their families and civilians are either fleeing or being captured by the advancing forces, including a number of foreigners. 

With the terror group facing ruin, President Trump has vowed to pull US troops out and hand responsibility for containing the remaining fighters to Turkey.

The US has also told its allies to take any ISIS members on foreign soil back home, or risk having them turned loose.

That includes British ISIS bride Shamima Begum, who fled east London to join the group in 2014, before being found in a refugee camp earlier this month.

She has been stripped of her British citizenship and banned from returning to the UK after the Home Secretary deemed her a security risk, but her family has threatened a legal challenge.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
