Baghdad, Jan. 21 – An underground armed group operating in Iraq’s Diyala province was discovered and several of its members detained by Coalition Forces, according to well-informed sources in the area.

U.S. forces arrested an Iraqi by the name of Fakhri along with an agent of Iran’s Qods Force (Jerusalem Force) in the Qareh Tapeh region near the Iraqi town of Kifri. The pair were discovered to have $150,000 on them, with which they were planning to carry out attacks.

The Qods Force is the extra-territorial arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and oversees the Iranian regime’s external military activities in Iraq.

After interrogation the pair revealed the location of the group of Iranian agents whom they were working with. Fakhri also admitted to have smuggled the group and their arms through the Iran-Iraq border, avoiding controls.

A number of these insurgents are believed to have been arrested after Coalition troops conducted raids in Qareh Tapeh. The identities of several of them have been discovered.
