Demonstration in Tal Afar to back security operation

NINEWA / IraqiNews.com: Around 1,000 residents of Ninewa province’s suburb of Talafar demonstrated on Saturday supporting a new security operation in their hometown. “The demonstration came to support the recent security operation conducted by the Ninewa Operations Command,” Sheikh Wali Ali Ridha, the chief of Tal Afar’s tribal council, told IraqiNews.com news agency. He said that the demonstration shows the necessity to enforce law throughout Ninewa. “Some sides have been rejecting the security operation for political reasons,” Ridha said. He said that the demonstrators demanded to activate the role of law, not to release detainees involved in terror acts, and not to mix politics with security. Tal Afar suburb lies 60 km northwest of Mosul, the capital city of Ninewa province, which lies 405 km north of Baghdad. MH (P) / SS 2
