Iraqi security forces detained four people accused of raising an ISIS flag and threatening residents south of Kirkuk, a security source told Shafaq News on Wednesday.
The arrests came after an investigation into the incident in Ananah village, Daquq district, which had sparked concern among residents.
Preliminary findings do not indicate a direct link to ISIS, as available evidence suggests the suspects are residents of the village, the source said.
