BAGHDAD, Aug 21 (KUNA) -- A Syrian insurgent was arrested Tuesday during
busting operations in Mosul city north of Iraq, said a statement for the
Multi-National Forces (MNF).
The statement noted that the insurgent was involved in smuggling foreign
fighters into Iraq, backing up Al-Qaeda operatives in addition to making
explosives.
The arrest was accompanied with clashes between MNF soldiers and insurgents
which resulted in apprehending four terrorists.
According to intelligence reports, the terrorists were planning a massive
attack on Al-Husseiniya area.
The MNF announcement coincided with the visit by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri
Maliki to Syria which was aimed at boosting cooperation at all levels
including security.
Iraqi and US accusations against Syria for harboring insurgents decreased
lately due to the improvement of security in Anbar province which has common
borders with Syria. (end)
