ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The international coalition against ISIS on Monday stressed its commitment to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in the fight against the terror group, against which the Kurdish partners are “vital”, the spokesperson said.

The remarks came following an announcement by the Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC)’s Counter-Terrorism Directorate (CTD), arresting seven ISIS members who planned to plant sticky bombs in places frequented by foreigners and the Erbil bazaar.

Tape confessions of the arrestees were also published.

“Our KRI [Kurdistan Region of Iraq] partners play a vital role in the success of the #DefeatDaesh fight & we are committed to our partnership w/them,” Col. Wayne Marotto, the official spokesperson of the coalition tweeted on Monday.

J'heshii said he was asked in July by Abu Harith to record videos inside Erbil to show that ISIS was active in the city. He sent the tapes to the point man to be posted on outlets affiliated with the terrorist organization.
