Up to 281 people have been arrested around Iraq for being implicated in terror-related attacks, said spokesman for the Iraqi government Laith Kibba on Sunday. Speaking at a press conference, he said that among those arrested were 80 Egyptians, 64 Syrians, 41 Sudanese, 22 Saudis, 17 Jordanians, 10 Palestinians, seven Libyans, six Tunisians, as well as 12 Iranians, four Turks and one British national.He added that all those arrested would stand before Iraqi courts, warning that terrorism in Iraq may spread to neighboring states if not countered. Kibba expressed hope that Jordan would sign a security agreement with Iraq so as to allow for the pursuit of terrorists in its territories, adding that new laws would be passed allowing for aiding families for those killed in terrorist attacks.
