4 wanted men detained south of Kirkuk

KIRKUK / IraqiNews.com: Joint forces on Wednesday arrested four wanted men who are believed to belong to the so-called “al-Naqshabandiya” group in south of Kirkuk, a local police chief said. “A joint force from the police, the intelligence and the criminal investigations department managed to arrest four wanted men believed to belong to the so-called al-Naqshabandiya group during two security raids in Yayji and Lilan districts in south of Kirkuk,” Brigadier Sarhad Qader told IraqiNews.com news agency. Al-Naqshabandiya is a group that introduces itself as an Islamic spiritual dogmatic organization, but its ideologies changed into ones of armed struggle against the occupation forces. Kirkuk lies 250 km northeast of the capital Baghdad. SH (P) 1
