The militant was reported to have buried himself alive in an underground pit to escape the police pursuit.
“Based on accurate intelligence information, a force of the federal police backed by security forces have stormed the village of Al-Qahhara in Hawija and managed to capture a member of the Daesh group as he was attempting to escape pursuit by hiding in an underground tunnel.” The country’s federal police said on Facebook.
Although the Iraqi government announced a full recapture of its entire territory from the grip of Daesh in December 2017, the Iraqi security forces are still hunting remnants affiliated to the Daesh in the country’s north.
