    The Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi stressed today, Friday, that the escalation of terrorist operations requires a strong response and intelligence work.

    Al-Halbousi said, in a tweet to him on Twitter, which was followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the escalation of terrorist operations targeting our military and security forces requires a strong response and proactive and intelligence work at the level of danger that threatens the security of the homeland and the citizen.".

    He added, "Pursuing ISIS remnants, destroying their dens, arming and training the people of the regions will ensure that these criminal incidents are not repeated.".

    Diyala Operations Command had announced earlier today, Friday, the death of 11 soldiers, including a lieutenant, in the Hawi al-Azim area of Diyala Governorate, as a result of a terrorist attack by ISIS terrorist gangs.
