Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Federal Intelligence and Investigations Agency (FIIA) announced on Monday the arrest of six dangerous terrorists in Nineveh governorate in northern Iraq.
The FIIA indicated that the terrorists that have been arrested previously joined different terrorist groups belonging to ISIS and were receiving money for their participation in terrorist operations, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
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 wage 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.
The Iraqi authorities have confirmed more than once that the security forces are trying to eliminate remnants of terrorist organizations in the country and tighten restrictions on firearms.
