US-Iraq Joint Operation Captures Top Five ISIS Leaders With Honey and Cross Border Raids But Mostly Cross Border Raids

Five Most Wanted leaders of ISIS just captured!

Gotcha.

Although their names haven't been reported yet, pictures of them have been printed in Iraqi media.

Their pictures appeared next to images taken from ISIS propaganda. In one image too gruesome to show, one of the captured commanders can be seen grinning and posing next to a row of severed heads.
The ISIS leaders are said to have featured in a series of sick execution videos, filmed when the extremist group controlled large swathes of Iraq.

The New York Times reports this was indeed a joint US-Iraqi intelligence operation:

Five senior ISIS officials were captured, including a top aide to the group’s leader, in a cross-border sting carried out by Iraqi and American intelligence. This was a huge intelligence victory. https://t.co/g2g4JzxEpr

Some in the media are even admitting this is good news:

Unemployment rate is lowest since 2000.

3 hostages returned from North Korea, as progress continues.

5 top ISIS leaders captured.

Getting a lot easier for 40-45% of the country to overlook domestic scandals.
