(VOVWORLD) - Iraqi troops on Monday arrested two high-profile members of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group near Mosul as government forces, supported by allied fighters from Popular Mobilization Units, continue to hunt for ISIS remnants.
Members of the 20th Brigade of the Army arrested self-proclaimed ISIS finance minister, Dawoud Mohamed Saleh, and another leader, whose identity was not known during a raid on a house in the south of Mosul.
A large number of explosive materials and weapons were seized during the offensive while local security forces detained 30 people southwest of Mosul for suspected links with ISIS.
