| (VOI) - Joint police and army forces arrested five wanted men and 11 suspected gunmen during a security raid in southern Samawa, the media spokesman for the Muthanna police said on Tuesday. "A joint force of local police and the 29th brigade of the 10th division of the Iraqi army waged a crackdown operation in Nissan 9 neighborhood in southern Samawa, where it arrested five wanted men and 11 suspected gunmen," the cabinet's national information center quoted the spokesman as saying in a statement received by Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI). "The force found four Kalashnikovs during the operation," he added. "The operation aims at seizing all unlicensed weapons," he also said, noting that other operations would be launched throughout the province. Muthanna enjoys relative security and did not witness any violet acts last months. It was the first province to receive the security file in July 2007. |
