Iraqi security forces prevented a group of people from illegally entering Iraq via Syria, an Iraqi military organization announced today.
The Security Media Cell said that 15 “infiltrators” had been headed from Syria toward the Iraqi border near the Rabia crossing in the Nineveh province. The Iraqi military used thermal cameras to detect their movements and arrested them. The alleged intruders were all Syrian citizens. Iraqi forces later returned them to Syria, according to a statement from the cell.
