| Awat al-Iraq: Quick response forces arrested an Iranian citizen who entered Iraq illegally, carrying forged Iraqi identification cards (IDs), and who hid himself in fuel tank, a source from Wassit police said on Saturday. "The Iranian was arrested while he was entering the country through Zerbatia border point, 90 km east of Kut," the source told Aswat al-Iraq. He noted that a large number of forged Iraqi IDs were found on the Iranian, in addition to Iranian cell phones scratch cards. "The IDs bear different Iraqi names," the source said. "It seems that those IDs are part of a campaign to forge upcoming provincial elections in Iraq," he added. He noted that the arrest operation relied on intelligence tips. |
