He said that intelligence for when and where to attack was given by an MOIS agent to the terrorist cells.
Iraqi security forces had received information regarding a possible attack. The chaotic security situation, due to the burial ceremony of Sheikh Hatam al-Hassan however, enabled the terrorists to use the opportunity to carry out their attack, he said.
One of the three Iraqis, arrested whilst taking photos of the scene minutes before the explosions, was a resident of Najaf, while his two accomplices were both from Basra.
He added that Iran closed its border with Iraq following the attacks to limit any intelligence leaks.
