Full biometrics collected, of course, so don't do anything stupid, boys...
WASSIT / Aswat al-Iraq: Police released 18 senior Baathist members, who were detained at the end of the last year, pointing out that it is the first group to be released and other groups will follow, security sources said today.

The source told Aswat al-Iraq that more groups will be released following the end of investigations and they have been proven innocent. On 22 October 2011, a security raid resulted in arresting a number of ex-Baath party members.

Kut, the center of Wassit province, lies 180 km southeast of the capital, Baghdad.
