Two terrorists arrested in northern Baghdad
Security forces arrest a terrorist.
“The 44th brigade of the Military Intelligence, in coordination with the National Security forces, have arrested two wanted terrorists in Adhamiyah area in northern Baghdad,” the department said in a statement.
Yesterday, the Baghdad Operations Command (BOC) has found 16 IEDS and two mortar missiles in different parts of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
Violence in the country has surged further with the emergence of Islamic State Sunni extremist militants who proclaimed an “Islamic Caliphate” in Iraq and Syria in 2014.
Bombings and armed attacks are seen on almost a daily basis against security members, paramilitary groups and civilians since the Iraqi government launched a wide-scale campaign to retake IS-occupied areas in 2016.
More than 500 Iraqis were killed and injured during the month of July due to violence and armed conflicts, according to a monthly count by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI).
