Based on FNA report, 3 groups of Baghdadi's close security personnels expelled.

"Al-Baghdadi has removed most of his commanders in Iraq, especially in Mosul, and surrounding areas, and replaced them with foreign and other Arab nationals," the sources said on Saturday.

According to the sources, al-Baghdadi has expelled all those Iraqi elements who worked for the ISIL security bodies as well as those whose family members worked for Hashd al Shabi (Iraqi Anti ISIS Popular Forces) or the Iraqi army's command center to prevent any coup or leakage of intelligence.

A group of senior ISIL commanders had earlier this month voiced their allegiance to Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and staged a coup against ISIL's commander Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in the Southwestern parts of Kirkuk province.

This move by the ISIL commanders in Kirkuk province will be a heavy blow to the Daesh.
