BAGHDAD, June 20 (KUNA) -- Iraqi forces staged a wide-scale military
operation on Saturday in Diyala Province's city of Miqdadiya, aimed at hunting
down militants and confiscating their arms.
A security source, requesting anonymity, told KUNA that a curfew had been
imposed on parts of Miqdadiya today, as part of the security plan being
executed since the early hours of this morning.
Houses are being searched on the basis of accurate intelligence
information, the source added.
Iraqi forces intensified their security operations in several Iraqi cities,
just days before the US forces begin their withdrawal. (end)
