    The Counter-Terrorism Service-CTS announced today, Sunday, that 90% of ISIS members are now local, while noting that the organization's remnants do not now pose any field or media threat.   

    A spokesman for the Counter-Terrorism Service, Sabah al-Numan, said in a statement to Al-Iraqiya News, which was followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the anti-terrorist agency continues to pressure ISIS remnants and prevent them from carrying out terrorist operations," noting that "during September we carried out 117 operations, and arrested many terrorists, and we killed others, including leaders, while destroying their dens."
    Numan added, "The operations carried out by the Counter-Terrorism Service thwarted many of the intentions and plans of the organization," noting that "ISIS is trying to re-establish its presence and carry out operations, most of which are for media gain."
    He stated that "the agency has a large database of terrorists locally and abroad," explaining that "90% of the ISIS militants now are local."
