In the recent period, several indicators have emerged for the return of the car bombing scenario in Iraq, which raises a lot of concern about the country's ability to rearrange its cards, whether on the political or security levels, while analysts link the return of this scenario again with the start of Iraq's preparations for early parliamentary elections in Next June, and political blocs will try to employ them to serve specific candidates.

A few days ago, the city of Ramadi, the center of Anbar Governorate (western Iraq), witnessed a car bomb explosion that injured 3 people, including a security member, and Kirkuk governorate witnessed the detonation of a car bomb that killed a woman and wounded several members of the security forces.

The attacks of suspected ISIS militants have increased since the beginning of this year, especially in the areas (north of Baghdad) located between the governorates of Kirkuk, Salah al-Din and Diyala, known as the "Triangle of Death."

Local bombing

Commenting on this, the spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Major General Yahya Rasul, told Al-Jazeera Net that the return of the booby-traps is one of the remnants and remnants of ISIS, which are active before any political event takes place in the country, stressing that the Iraqi armed forces are trying to intensify the effort and intelligence work to eliminate these cells .

For his part, security expert Saeed al-Jayashi believes that these operations are not up to the level of the previous explosions of this type, which is known as local bombing with shells and mortar artillery inside the car, which is simple capabilities that indicate the drying up of the sources of funding for ISIS.

While political analyst Najm al-Qassab excludes the booby traps being the return of ISIS to control Iraqi cities, and believes that some parties, which have armed factions, have managed to expand in Sunni areas and are trying to create terror and fear among others that ISIS will return;

But the truth of the matter is political goals before the elections to link the security situation in these areas to the success of specific personalities in the upcoming elections.

Al-Bayati, after discovering underground tunnels, is more dangerous than the return of car bombs (Al-Jazeera)

Tunnels are dangerous

For his part, military expert Sarmad Al-Bayati, a former Iraqi army officer, believes that the most dangerous thing to security in Iraq is the return of booby-traps.

It is the discovery of underground tunnels, according to information he has by the Iraqi intelligence, indicating that these tunnels were dug by ISIS operatives to move through them and transport weapons through them.

Al-Bayati confirmed that this new strategy is different for the organization's movement, in addition to their concentration in mountain areas, which they use in hiding, which are often the disputed areas with the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

It is noteworthy that in 2017 Iraq declared victory over ISIS by regaining all of its lands, which were estimated at about a third of the country, which the organization invaded in the summer of 2014, but the organization still maintains sleeper cells in large areas in Iraq, and launches attacks between different periods.
