"As part of the ongoing efforts exerted by the Federal Intelligence and Investigations Agency to eliminate the remaining elements of ISIS terrorist gangs, its specialized counterterrorism units in Kirkuk province carried out a targeted operation that resulted in the arrest of two suspects who had written promotional slogans for ISIS gangs on the walls of one of the province’s schools (unused classrooms), following intelligence and technical surveillance," said the agency in a statement late Wednesday.

It added that the suspects have "explicitly confessed" that they had been recruited by ISIS on social media and that they were planning to carry out terrorist operations in the provinces in the coming days.
