Iraqi Police Chief Hails Iran’s Security Assistance
TEHRAN (Dispatches) – Commander of Iraq’s border police General Hamid Abdullah Ibrahim on Sunday praised Iran for helping his country regain security through providing the Arab country with military advisors.
In a meeting with Iranian police chief Brigadier General Hussein Ashtari, the Iraqi official said there have not been any problems along the joint border despite the fact most of Iraq’s security forces have been engaged in fighting Daesh terrorists since 2014.
He also expressed hope that growing stability in Iraq would allow further strengthening of border security by constructing new posts and dispatching equipment to joint border areas.
On Saturday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it had killed 10 terrorists in a Kurdish region near the border with Iraq.
The IRGC’s website said the 10 belonged to a "terrorist group affiliated with global arrogance," referring to the United States, and that several other militants were wounded in clashes late Friday.
The terrorists were ambushed while trying to infiltrate into the country from Iraq to provoke insecurity and commit acts of sabotage in the country, an IRGC statement said.
