Iraqi forces started on Thursday a military
offensive to pursue Daesh militants south the eastern Diyala province.
In exclusive statements to the US-funded Radio Sawa,
Spokesperson for Diyala Police Command Ghalib Atiya said that the Iraqi troops
began to track down Daesh fighters in Bahraz district, in southern Diyala.
The military operation will focus on the province's
southern villages, which are a safe haven for terrorist gangs, the spokesman
added.
On Wednesday, four terrorists, including a suicide
bomber, were killed and an explosive belt and 15 bombs were discovered in a
security crackdown in Samarra city in Saladin province, nearly 125 km north of
Baghdad.
