ISIS leader dubbed ‘Jabba the Jihadi’ captured in Iraq

He put the fat in fatwa.

A morbidly obese ISIS fanatic dubbed “Jabba the Jihadi” has been captured by Iraqi forces — who loaded him onto a flatbed truck because he couldn’t fit in a police car.

The 560-pound mufti Abu Abdul Bari, also known as Shifa al-Nima, was nabbed Thursday by an elite SWAT team of the Nineveh regiment in the city of Mosul, according to Stars and Stripes.

The jumbo jihadist was known for “provocative speeches against the security forces” and is considered one of the top leaders of “ISIS gangs,” Iraqi security officials said in a statement.

Bari issued religious decrees — or fatwas — ordering the execution of scholars and clerics who refused to pledge allegiance to ISIS when the terror group occupied the city, the statement said.

During the heyday of the group’s self-styled caliphate in 2014, he also ordered the destruction of a mosque built at the site believed to be the burial place of the biblical prophet Jonah, who once had a famous encounter with a whale.

Maajid Nawaz, founder of the London-based anti-extremism think Quilliam, also shared images of the heavyweight’s arrest.

“He was so overweight, maybe from remaining sedentary in his hiding place, that he had to be taken by police in the back of a pick up truck,” he wrote on Facebook.

Liberals now have another reason to buy a flag, so they can fly it half mast for another of their downed heroes.

He never slept in the same place twice and was always on the move, always a step ahead of the law.

Biggest question is- how did he elude authorities for as long as he did? It’s not like he could jump out a window or blend in with the crowd.

Well Bin Laden managed for years despite requiring regular dialyses treatment. This guy looks like he could pass as a small building.

I'm beginning to believe the people who said bin Laden died years before from kidney failure. Why wasn't there any pictures confirming his death? Why was he buried so fast? Why was the SEAL team unit who whacked him sent on a slow Chinook chopper somewhere they could easily be shot down?

I think the truth of that is far more sinister. Biden identified them after which they were riding together like sitting ducks on slow chopper. I have always suspected it was a hit probably put together by Jarret to give her muzzie pals revenge.

His 15 wives and 30 concubines carried him to safety many times. Unfortunately,it was bogo shopping day at the marketplace.

Another ISIS member probably ratted him out because
he was eating them out of house and home?

Completely agree, but I’d add that if Jarrett set it up, obama was 100% on board as well.

No doubt. We heard Jarret argued against the raid to take out BL but Obongo knew it would help him get re-elected. He probably cut a deal we’ll take him out but we will let Allahs solders get revenge.
