(IraqiNews.com) Kirkuk – Leader at al-Hashd al-Turkmani, Abu reda al-Najjar announced digging a 6-km trench in southern Kirkuk, to prevent the sneaking of members of the Islamic State to the city, while pointed out to the participation of the Peshmerga forces in the digging of the security trench.

Najjar said in a press statement, “Peshmerga and al-Hashd al-Turkmani militia in the areas between Qasbet Bashir and Daquq district, dug a 6-km long trench to prevent the sneaking of members of the Islamic State to the area.”
