 (KUNA) -- A Security committee in the province of Kirkuk ordered Tuesday an Iraqi military force in Suleimania area to move to southern Kirkuk in northern Iraq. A military senior official told KUNA that this military maneuver was taken to protect southern Kirkuk from insurgents who have increasingly stepped up their attacks in the area. The Iraqi forces and Multi-National force (MNF) previously conducted several operations in the area which resulted in the capture of 169 suspects. |
