The Counter-Terrorism Service in Iraq arrested 5 terrorists, including 4 leaders of the terrorist organization "ISIS" in the north of the country.

On Monday, the Iraqi National News Agency quoted the spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Major General Yahya Rasoul, as saying that the Counter-Terrorism Service continued its qualitative operations, as the forces of the agency managed to arrest 5 terrorists, including 4 terrorist leaders from the so-called Qaqaa Brigade.

This operation was carried out in coordination with the "Asayish" of the Kurdistan region of Iraq - Sulaymaniyah.

Kurdish and Iraqi forces arrested more than a dozen suspected ISIS members, including leaders, in raids across the country earlier this month.

The Peshmerga and Iraqi forces are now planning to increase coordination by forming two joint brigades.
