Meanwhile, the Iraqi Federal Police Intelligence Unit announced today in a statement the arrest of a terrorist leader in the northwestern province of Ninawa.
In 2017, after three years of fighting, Iraq declared victory over the ISIS terrorist group, but the terrorist scattered elements and cells are still active in some areas of Diyala, Kirkuk, Ninawa, Salah al-Din, Al-Anbar and Baghdad provinces.
Iraqi security forces are operating to completely clear these areas of terrorist elements. 219
