| Aswat al-Iraq: Six suspected gunmen were arrested on Monday in al-Saadiya district in Diala, according to a security source. "Policemen arrested five persons, suspected of being members of al-Naqshabandiya group, in Hamrein region in al-Saadiya district, south of Khanaqin," the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. "Another suspect was arrested at Murjana checkpoint between Jalawlaa and al-Saadiya," he added. Al-Naqshabandiya, an armed group self-proclaimed after 2003 and composed of officers and soldiers of the former Iraqi army, is loyal to Izzat Ibrahim al-Dori, the vice president of the former Iraqi regime, and active mainly in Kirkuk and its environs. |
