2 depots found in Sulaimaniya

SULAIMANIYA / IraqiNews.com: Kurdish security forces on Wednesday found two hidden depots of explosives in southwest of Sulaimaniya, a senior police officer said. “The forces found the two hidden depots in Jabara region in southern Kafri district, southwest of Sulaimaniya,” Jalal Shurawi told IraqiNews.com news agency. “The depots contain 120 cannonballs and 85 mortar shells,” he noted. The Kurdistan region’s government issued a decision last February to form a province, which consists of Khaniqeen, Kafri, Klara and Jamjamal districts. Kafri district is on the areas administratively disputed by the provinces of Diala, Kirkuk and al-Sulaimaniya. It lies 118 km northeast of Baaquba, the capital of Diala, 120 km southwest of Kirkuk, and 185 km southwest of Sulaimaniya. SH (P) 2
