Iraqi police, assisted by army forces, on Saturday morning (July 28th) east of Mosul arrested Saleh Mohan, the al-Qaeda leader of an assassination cell, the Iraqi Interior Ministry reported.
Ministry spokesperson Maj. Gen. Adel Dahham told Al-Shorfa that a joint army and police force carried out a security operation in al-Dosar, eastern Mosul, arresting Mohan at a fortified house in the centre of the neighbourhood.
Mohan posed a major threat to security and his arrest will solve many outstanding cases, including some involving assassinations with silencer-equipped guns in northern Iraq, Dahham said.

The Iraqi forces started arresting many of the elements of the terrorist movements and this is a praiseworthy achievement. The Iraqi security forces intensified their efforts and started putting powerful plans to destroy these terrorist organizations and arrest many of their leaders and elements. We also should never forget the role of the Iraqi people, who confronted these criminal acts and supported the Iraqi government in arresting these elements.

The Iraqi forces managed to achieve great success for the efforts they did, that the world witnessed, and it managed to save Iraqis and made a great stand in eliminating terrorism where they were able to locate the place for what they were looking for easily.

That is all lies so that people will believe you…Aren't we fed up with such lies? If we believe this, half Iraqis would be members of al Qaeda and their supporter; if we believe the rulers, they would not fight instead, they would kill the Al Sahwa members who destroyed al Qaeda. So, we notice that al Qaeda is gaining ground and strongly.

A billion congratulations to the heroic Iraqi police for their courage in carrying out amazing operations regarding the complete protection of infrastructure in Iraq, and the security forces have ensured peace and security in all the provinces of Iraq, and despite all the difficulties that they have faced in terms of the extremist terrorist activities perpetrated by the filthy organization of al-Qaeda, and they have perpetrated so many operations that we cannot even imagine, including mass arrests, causing infighting among the citizens, car bombings, and all of this intentionally, and they have engaged in other cowardly activities. But praise Allah, the heroic people of Iraq have been able, with very little effort, to protect their country of Iraq in an extraordinary manner, as they have carried out massive campaigns for hunting down terrorists and extremists of the cowardly organization of al-Qaeda, because they were sick and tired of the activities that the terrorists and extremists were carrying out in Iraq. The Iraqi security forces have been able to a very large extent to track down the criminal extremists and terrorists and hand them over to the Iraqi justice system to be tried. As such, it is the duty of all Iraqis to extend their immense thanks and gratitude, and the noble security officers should be rewarded for their cleansing operations that they have carried out for the sake of Iraq’s security, and all the Iraqi people want them to do more so that there would be no terrorist or extremist left in Iraq or in all of the Arab countries, and Allah-willing, in the next few days, we will start to hear good news regarding the operations of the heroic Iraqi security forces in Iraq.
