Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Iraqi Interior Ministry has announced foiling the biggest terrorist scheme that was going to target the capital as well as other provinces.

In remarks on Monday, Abu Ali al-Basri, general director of the ministry’s counter-terrorism department, said over the past three months, the ministry "was in secret war against Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, which led to foiling the biggest terrorist scheme that was targeting Baghdad and other provinces during the parliamentary elections."

Operations were launched against IS members, who were tasked with carrying out the blasts, leaving many prominent members jugged

, according to Basri.

The troops "took part in shelling the terrorist gatherings through missiles in Syria’s Hegeen and al-Bu Kamal, along with air force as well as the quadruple alliance including each of Iraq, Russia, Iran and Syria," he said.
