Iraq arrests another Syrian wanted for terrorism
Shafaq News/ On Tuesday, Iraqi authorities arrested a Syrian wanted on terrorism charges, in Najaf province.
A security official told Shafaq News Agency that security forces detained the Syrian who was allegedly linked to the militant group led by Abu Mohammad al-Jolani (the current Syrian transitional President Ahmad Al-Sharaa).
“The Syrian suspect was residing in the Maysan neighborhood in central Najaf and is wanted under Article 4 of the Anti-Terrorism Law,” the source said. “He arrived in the province a month ago and had participated in several battles alongside terrorist groups in Syria.”
