The Popular Mobilization Authority in Iraq announced on Tuesday the arrest of a terrorist affiliated with ISIS following a pursuit operation that extended from the Anbar Governorate to the capital, Baghdad.

In a statement, the authority said, "A specialized team from the Investigations Directorate of the General Directorate of Security and Discipline successfully apprehended the terrorist after conducting meticulous monitoring and tracking of movements from Anbar to Baghdad."

"The operation was carried out after receiving official approval..." emphasizing that "investigations with the detained terrorist are ongoing," the Authority added.

The statement also confirmed that the terrorist was active in the Anbar Province, which has some ISIS presence, and was involved in activating "sleeping cells and carrying out attacks against security forces."

Last year, the Iraqi National Intelligence Agency announced in February that it successfully arrested two of the most prominent leaders of the terrorist organization ISIS, in a top-tier operation conducted outside Iraqi soil, the agency announced.

Iraqi intelligence forces expatriated the terrorists to Iraq after launching an operation to track and arrest the wanted individuals, which lasted for several years.

The terrorists were identified as Issam Ali Saidan, also known as "Abu Zeid", and Bashir Ali Saidan, also known as "Abu Ahmad Etisalat." The Agency confirmed in a statement that the arrested terrorists were responsible for managing communication activities for ISIS in the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

In detail, "Abu Zaid" managed ISIS' media network while "Abu Ahmad Etisalat" was tasked with encrypting and managing communications between the organization's leaders. It is worth noting that the Arabic word "Etisalat" translates to "communications".
