MISSAN / Aswat al-Iraq: Iraqi army and police forces on Thursday arrested four wanted persons and seized arms & ammunition at al-Mael marshes, southeast of Amara city, said a source from the Iraqi army’s 10th Division.

“The forces also seized four unlicensed pickup vehicles during the operation,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

“The operation relied on intelligence tip-offs that some elements have crossed the border illegally from Iran,” he added.

Amara, the capital city of Missan province, lies 390 km south of Baghdad.
