BAGHDAD, Feb 15 (NNN-NINA) – The Iraqi military said yesterday that, its forces killed three Daesh militants in the northern part of the country.
The three Daesh militants were killed in Wadi al-Shay, a rugged area south-west of the northern city of Kirkuk, the media office of the Joint Operations Command (JOC) said.
It added that, the operation was based on intelligence reports, and the three militants had been tracked for more than three days before the operation.
Meanwhile, a statement issued by the Iraqi intelligence service said that, “intelligence personnel tracked down some Daesh leading figures, in more than one country, and were able to arrest them in a non-neighbouring country and transfer them to Iraq.”
The arrested terrorists, who are believed to be involved in criminal acts inside and outside Iraq, will be handed over to the Iraqi judicial authorities, to receive their just punishment, according to the statement.
The statement did not give further details about when and where exactly the terrorists were arrested, nor did it mention their number.– NNN-NINA
