[SHAFAQ] The Prime Minister of Kurdistan Regional, Masrour Barzani, disclosed on Monday new details about the network associated with ISIS, which was dismantled by the Kurdish security forces.

Barzani said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, "After a months-long security operation, our forces managed to thwart a terrorist plot in Erbil, which was laid in Syria, and orders were issued to implement the terrorist group affiliated with ISIS, which is currently under arrest and subject to investigations."

Earlier today, the Kurdistan Regional Security Council announced that it had thwarted a plot targeting the city of Erbil during the month of Ramadan and arrested a cell linked to ISIS that was preparing to implement the plan.
