Yesterday, the Iraqi security forces imposed unprecedented new security measures in the capital, Baghdad, days after a double suicide bombing, which killed 32 people and wounded more than 100 others.
The new measures included the closure of most roads near the heavily fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad, where the US embassy and government headquarters are located.
The official Iraqi News Agency (INA) confirmed that the Baghdad governorate "has a plan to expand the deployment of surveillance cameras throughout the capital," confirming that this project will be managed by the Ministry of Interior.
The governor of Baghdad, Muhammad Al-Atta, said that Baghdad needs thousands of cameras in its streets and neighborhoods, which will be installed in every street, in sufficient numbers, similar to countries of the world, and will include buildings and even elevators.
These new measures come in the context of the steps announced by the government of Mustafa Al-Kazemi, in the wake of the double suicide attack near Tayaran Square in central Baghdad, last Thursday.
Al-Kazemi announced the dismissal of a number of high-level security officials in connection with the attack.
In Salah al-Din governorate, 11 members of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces were killed, the day before yesterday, in an ambush attributed to the "ISIS" organization, according to a security source in the crowd.
The attack was carried out at night with light weapons, east of Tikrit, the center of Salah al-Din Governorate.
Abu Ali al-Maliki, one of the officers in the 22nd Brigade in the crowd, said that "ISIS launched an attack on the 22nd Brigade, east of Tikrit," while other sources in the crowd said that 11 members were killed and 10 wounded.
The Iraqi presidency announced, the day before yesterday, that it had ratified more than 340 death sentences issued by Iraqi courts, and it gained the final degree.
An official source in the Presidency of the Republic said in a press statement that the presidency had ratified more than 340 death sentences issued by the competent Iraqi courts, which gained the final degree, and in various terrorist and criminal cases.
