| (VOI) - Iraqi security forces on Tuesday arrested four wanted men in southern Mosul, the official spokesman for Ninewa operations command said. 'A force from the Special Operations brigade managed to arrest the four wanted men in Garage Baghdad region in southern Mosul after receiving intelligence tips,' Brigadier Khaled Abdul Sattar told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI). 'The detainees are registered on the list made by the Ninewa operations command,' he also said. He did not add further details. Iraqi security forces launched a large-scale military campaign since May 10. The operation, codenamed Za'eer al-Assad (Lion's Roar), aimed at tracking down gunmen in Ninewa province. Five days later, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced the operation's second stage under the name Umm al-Rabiain (Mother of Two Springs). |
