Iraqi special forces coming from the capital Baghdad have started enforcing the law in the province of Diyala (60 km northeast of Baghdad), in implementation of orders by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. The forces deployed in various regions of the province in search of wanted individuals who carried out recent assassinations of citizens, and medical and scientific figures. Meanwhile, the Sheikh of Bani Tamim tribes Mustafa al-Tamimi granted the government 10 days to arrest the perpetrators. A security source in the province stated that the special forces would carry out security missions in other administrative units in line with plans set by Sudani during a visit to Diyala on Wednesday. Sudani has given security commanders two weeks to stabilize the area. The source added that the operations would continue until all arrest warrants issued against individuals involved in various crimes and charges are executed. The forces deployed in around nine regions in Diyala to assure the locals, track suspects and fugitives and deter criminal and terrorist networks and groups, the source added. Minister of Interior Abdul Amir Al-Shammari ordered security forces in Diyala to intensify security and intelligence efforts and to end the violations. Major General Khaled Al-Mahna, the spokesman of the Ministry of Interior, stressed that the security agencies are keen on arresting whoever attempts to destabilize the province.
