Iraqi intelligence forces on Tuesday managed to arrest nine ISIS terrorists in Kirkuk and Baghdad.

Following a complicated operation, Iraqi troops identified and detained nine ISIS terrorists, Iraq’s Interior Ministry said in a statement.

The operation was carried out in line with efforts to clear the Arab country of the terror group’s remnants, it added.

“Five of the terrorists were arrested in different areas in Kirkuk and the rest were apprehended in the neighborhoods of al-Dora and al-Jamaa in Baghdad,” the statement further read.

ISIS has intensified its movements in Iraq amid Baghdad’s call on the US to pull out its forces from the Arab country.
