Iraqi security forces on Thursday (June 16th) seized a large quantity of explosives set to be used in terror attacks in several areas of Baghdad, an official with the Ministry of Interior said.

"Security forces seized large quantities of explosives, weapons and ammunition, as well as information [materials] confirming the terrorists’ intentions to carry out bombings in various areas of Baghdad," ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Saad Maan told Al-Shorfa.

The explosives were seized in two separate "carefully planned pre-emptive operations" in two different areas of Baghdad, he said, adding that three suspects were also arrested.
