| Security troops besiege IS militants hiding in tunnel, west of Anbar Anbar (IraqiNews.com) Several Islamic State militants hiding inside a tunnel are being besieged by security troops , west of Anbar, a security source said on Monday. “Several IS members were found hiding inside a tunnel in al-Badiya island, near Hit city,” the source told AlSumaria News. “Those militants previously killed a soldier as he knew about their hideout.” Earlier on the day, seven IS members were reportedly killed as joint troops of army’s seventh division and tribes carried out an operation in the desert, north of Baghdadi town, west of Anbar. Five arrested in Anbar for drinking alcoholics in public Hit (IraqiNews.com) Five people were arrested in Iraq’s Anbar province on Tuesday for drinking alcoholics in public, a local security source was quoted saying. Alsumaria News quoted the source saying that a police force at the city of Hit (70 km west of Ramadi) arrested five for taking alcoholics in public. “Some of those detained admitted to alcoholics dealing,” said the source. Attacks against alcoholics stores have been rampant at Iraq’s religiously conservative regions over the past years. Iraq’s parliament banned the import selling and manufacturing of alcoholics in October 2016, to the dismay of several personal freedoms activists. An earlier law in 2001 had conditioned that alcoholics sellers be non-Muslims, Iraqi nationals and not less than 21 of age. |
