Security forces apprehend two terrorists, defuse bombs west of Baghdad

Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) – Security forces arrested on Wednesday two terrorists and dismantled a large amount of explosive charges in different parts of Baghdad, a military command said.

“Two terrorists were apprehended in Abu Gharib area west of Baghdad,” the Baghdad Operations Command said in a statement, a copy of which was obtained by Baghdad Today on Wednesday.

“The troops also seized and defused a large amount of explosive charges at al-Halabsa area in western Baghdad,” the statement read.

The Iraqi capital has seen almost daily bombings and armed attacks against security members, paramilitary troops and civilians since the Iraqi government launched a wide-scale campaign to retake Islamic State-occupied areas in 2016.

Though most of the daily bombings go without a claim of responsibility, Islamic State has declared it had been behind many.
