Iraqi forces arrested 11 suspects in security operations launched Tuesday (November 8th) in Maysan and Diyala provinces, security officials said.
In Maysan province, Amarah deputy police chief Lt. Col. Hatef Ali told Al-Shorfa that intelligence indicated that suspects might be at a building south of the city, and a police force launched an operation based on this information.
"Six terrorists belonging to Jund al-Samaa terrorist militias were arrested," Ali said. "They were wanted by the Iraqi judiciary for their involvement in a number of terrorist attacks."
The raiding force found light and medium weapons, as well as sticky bombs, in the building.
A local police force in Diyala province arrested five suspected al-Qaeda members.
Diyala police spokesperson Lt. Col. Ghaleb al-Karkhi said, "Confessions from people detained by Iraqi forces led to a terrorist hideout at an agricultural village in Khanaqin. When the hideout was raided, five al-Qaeda members were arrested."
Al-Karkhi said the detainees are involved in killing citizens and rigging vehicles with explosives to carry out terrorist attacks.

Iraq is one of the Arab and Islamic countries most exposed to sorrows and oppression since the time of Saddam Hussein’s former regime. That regime dragged Iraq into wars, an economic embargo and other things that turned Iraq into a weak country that cannot work or interact with other countries, as relations were bad with everyone. But now that we are rid of it, thank God, we got much worse leaders, who steal Iraq’s resources. God is great. O Lord of the two worlds, is there no mercy in this world? The Iraqi people are strong and heroic. They confronted all conditions, and now they are in a relatively good position, in spite of everything that happened to them. The Iraqi people are a wonderful people, as they have endured everything. The cowardly terrorists exploited the bad conditions in Iraq to extend their control there. As such, they committed countless operations in all Iraqi governorates. Children, women and the elderly all suffered from terrorism and terrorists with their filthy acts. The bombings that took place in Iraq were many and hit important state departments, houses, mosques and even churches; nothing was spared by the filthy al-Qaeda organization. Those terrorists came from neighboring countries that did not want the betterment of Iraq and Iraqis; especially from the hateful Iran that wanted to control Iraq as well and turn it into an Islamic country. They wanted Sunnis and Christians to be displaced. But Iran was stupid, because it did not know that the Iraqis are heroes and that they do not fall for its filthy words. Thank God, many people were arrested in the raid against these networks. Iraqis have endured much; but thanks to God Almighty, they are more powerful than the terrorists. The al-Qaeda organization is not scary, because the Iraqis have endured its burden. But what do we say to the innocent martyrs who were the victims of terrorism and terrorists?
