Targetting the US military convoy in northern Baghdad, the role of the popular uprising in drying up ISIL funding in Diyala, and the emphasis of the Iraqi National Security Adviser on the importance of intelligence combat in the fight against the Takfiris are among the most important Iraqi security news.
An Iraqi security source said an explosion targeted an international coalition logistics convoy in Iraq.
The source said the US coalition logistics convoy was targeted on the Baghdad road to Salah al-Din, north of the Iraqi capital.
A US-backed coalition convoy was attacked on Salah al-Din Road after Iraqi media reported that a US military logistics convoy had been targeted in the Iraqi provinces of Babil, Nasiriyah, Diwaniyah, and Samah.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Rocket attacks and explosions along the lines of supply convoys and the support of the international coalition and the Americans have recently intensified and continue in Iraq.
Iraqis are strongly opposed to the continued occupation by foreign forces, according to a parliamentary resolution passed by parliament in January 1998.
The State Department recently announced that Washington had offered more than $ 3 million in rewards for intelligence on attacks against Americans in Iraq.
On the other hand, “Abbas al-Ardawi,” an Iraqi security expert, said that the al-Kadhimi government had not reached the most important agreement, which was the expulsion of American troops.
He added: “The government has not kept its promises and has not implemented the political agreements reached with it at the time, most importantly the expulsion of US troops from Iraq and the protection of Iraqi sovereignty from foreign interference.”
“The current battle is an intelligence battle,” Qassim al-Araji, Iraq’s national security adviser, told a meeting of the National Intelligence Coordination Board, which was attended by members of the delegation.
He added: “ISIL movements must be discovered with all care and seriousness, and pre-emptive blows must be inflicted on it before any criminal action is taken.”
