Iraqi forces destroy ISIS rest house south of Baghdad

An "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) rest house has been destroyed south of Baghdad and six suspects have been arrested in a large-scale joint police-army operation, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said Monday (September 25th).

"Iraqi forces raided a residential building and seized 17 improvised explosive devices (IEDs), 1 explosives vest, mortars, and light and medium weapons," ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Saad Maan told Diyaruna.

They also arrested a suspect who confessed to involvement with a terrorist cell that used the building as its headquarters, he said.

"The operation, carried out at dawn Monday in al-Obaid, south of Baghdad, also nabbed five suspects," he added.
