A 40-stone Islamic State terrorist has been arrested in Iraq by a SWAT team, security officials have said.



Abu Abdul Bari, also known as Shifa al-Nima, was taken away on the back of a truck after his arrest in Mosul as the extremist, who weighs an estimated 40-stone (254kg), could not be transported in a car.
Pictures of Bari, who Iraqi police consider to be one of IS's senior figures, on the vehicle wedged against a mounted machine gun have appeared online. He is also pictured at home.
It is unclear how he was removed from his hiding place.
Maajid Nawaz, founder of the London-based anti-extremism think Quilliam, said on Facebook that Bari "had to be taken by police in the back of a pick-up truck".
