US commandos capture ‘significant’ Islamic State operative

US commandos have captured a major Islamic State operative in Iraq and his detention will likely lead to the apprehension of other IS targets, a US defense official told AFP Wednesday.

The issue raises questions about what will happen to the detainee and others like him, given that President Barack Obama has ruled out sending any more terror suspects to Guantanamo Bay and the United States does not want to create a holding center for IS captives in Iraq.

The US defense official, who asked not to be named, confirmed a New York Times report that said a “significant” operative had been captured.

Officials told The Times that US interrogators were with the detainee at a temporary detention facility in Erbil in northern Iraq, and that he would eventually be handed over to Iraqi or Kurdish officials.

Give them to the Kurds, odds are if they get in Iraqi hands they'll be free by sundown.

Give him and any others to the Kurds, and make sure all their misdeeds are well-known to the new keepers. The Iraqis are probably too incompetent or too corrupt to be trusted.

Many Kurds are Sunni and they might make a deal with IS for Kurdish considerations. Give them to a Shia militia. He might be dead within a matter of days though.

There are no white hat types in the ME. They all have their own agendas.

The Ruskies would do a good job on him. Not liking IS for the down airliner.
