| 2008-07-12 |
| (VOI) -- Military reinforcements arrived on Friday morning in Diala province from Baghdad to participate in the operations recently announced by the Iraqi Premier Nouri al-Maliki to track down gunmen, said a security source. "Scores of military vehicles carrying Iraqi troops with armored vehicles, arrived today in al-Moradiya area in Baaquba on the road linking Diala to Baghdad," the source told Aswat al-Iraq -- Voices of Iraq -- (VOI) on condition of anonymity. "The reinforcements came to participate in the imminent military operations in Diala," he said. He did not mention further details. In June 2008, the Iraqi premier Nouri al-Maliki announced "the next stage will be in Diala," referring to a military operation similar to Saulat al-Forsan (Knights Assault) in Basra and Bashaer al-Salam (Promise of Peace) in Missan. |
