| (VOI) - Security forces arrested a gunman from what is called Ansar al-Sunna group during a security operation in south of Kirkuk, a media source said on Tuesday. “Security forces waged a crackdown operation in Yarmaga village, south of Kirkuk where they arrested an element of Ansar al-Sunna group,” the source, who refused to be identified, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI). “The detainee confessed during the preliminary interrogation to planting bombs and booby-trapping vehicles, as well as shootings,” he said, noting that the man was a detainee and then released within the general pardon law recently approved by the Iraqi government. Ansar al-Sunna is one of the armed groups working under the mantra of al-Qaeda’s Islamic state of Iraq. It is active in the northern regions of Iraq. |
