Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Directorate of General Military Intelligence (DGMI) announced on Sunday the arrest of seven terrorists belonging to the ISIS group in three different governorates.
The DGMI mentioned in a statement that Iraqi security forces carried out separate operations in Baghdad, Anbar, and Salah Al-Din after receiving intelligence information indicating that a few ISIS terrorists exist in some areas.
According to the statement, all the elements were arrested by the Iraqi security forces after an exchange of gunfire.
Iraq announced in late 2017 the liberation of all its territories from the grip of ISIS, but the authorities are constantly launching security operations to pursue remnants of the terrorist group that carry out attacks from time to time in the country.
The Iraqi security forces waged battles in several Iraqi governorates, including Nineveh, Kirkuk, Diyala, Salah Al-Din, Anbar, and the outskirts of Baghdad, to eliminate the remaining members of the ISIS group following the elimination of the terrorist group, which occupied large areas in Iraq and Syria for years.
