Baghdad, 7 Oct. (AKI) - The director of the Iraqi interior ministry, Adnan Hadi al-Asadi, has announced that they have dismantled a network composed of staff from the ministry itself who were supplying reserved security information to terror groups. During a news conference held at the ministry on Thursday, Asadi said that "those people provided information to terrorists regarding the movements of the police, the times and places the new recruits met and were trained, so they could carry out attacks on them." | That explains why all those boomers at recruiting stations had such a easy time. |
Asadi did not reveal the number of people involved in the network, their administrative grade within the ministry or the posts they held, but admitted to "the existence of administrative corruption problems within the ministry which have led to the arrest of many of those involved, including an army general."
| Anyone want to bet he was a left-over from Sammys army, included for political correctness? |
Asadi explained that "all the police cars will be equipped with detectors to indicate their movements and their location while in service, so that they can be reached in case of emergency or identified if they are usd to carry out robberies or other crimes." | GPS trackers, excellent idea |
The director-general of the interior ministry went on to reveal that "the ministry intends to issue new passes to its staff containing new advanced security filters which will make them harder to forge," and that they will soon use "equipment to detect from a distance the presence of explosives which could be used in crowded areas."
Iraqi police, soldiers and new recruits to the security services have borne the brunt of insurgent attacks around the country since the US-led invasion in 2003. Police recruits were among ten killed on Thursday when a suicide bomber boarded a bus near the oil ministry and the main police academy in Baghdad. | Hope they make a painful example out of these bastards |
