| Aswat al-Iraq: A total 276 discharged officers were brought back to service during the course of Operation Bashaer al-Kheir, according to the Diala police chief on Friday. "Those officers were part of 5,400 discharged from service during the past five years for different reasons like collaboration with armed groups or quitting service after they were subjected to forced displacement," Maj. General Abdelhussein al-Shimari told Aswat al-Iraq. He said that he has given instructions to study the files of those brought back to service. "It turned out that 15 of the officers brought back to service are wanted by judicial authorities and will be discharged again after official memos in this respect were sent to the interior ministry," said Shimari. The Iraqi security forces had launched Operation Bashaer al-Kheir (Promise of Good) in Diala late last July with the aim of tracking down armed groups and consolidate the state's power over the volatile province. |
