Security source reported to IraqiNews.com ”The Peshmerga forces are deployed intensely near Sirklan area where dozens of military vehicles were seen near Tikrit Square and the Peshmerga elements were armed with light weapons.”

“A senior source in Peshmerga attributed this intensive deployment to the lack of presence for Iraqi Forces in the area so the Peshmerga forces are deployed to preserve security in the area,” the source added.
