Al-Bahadli further added, "After the liberation of the western island of Samarra, they moved with his father to Mosul and joined ISIS there, where he joined the 'That Al-Sawari' Brigade - Brigade Abdullah bin Omar, and the Mujahideen Army. After the liberation of Mosul, he fled to northern Iraq, and after continuous monitoring by the intelligence of Saraya al-Salam’s 313 Brigade, he was lured to the jurisdiction area in Al-Ishaqi, where he was apprehended and handed over to the National Security Service."
