    Iraqi Ministry of Defense: A suicide attack was thwarted in Al-Anbar

Today, Monday, the Security Media Cell announced that it had thwarted a suicide attack by a motorcycle in Al-Anbar.

The Cell revealed in a statement that "a qualitative pre-emptive operation was carried out according to accurate intelligence information of the Intelligence Division of the Fifth Division, in which it indicated the presence of a booby-trapped motorcycle that was hidden inside the Rutba desert, the northern side in the Wadi Houran region, with a large number of explosives."

It revealed that the terrorists were planning to seize the opportunity and release the bombs at the crowded Rutba District market and detonate them through a suicide bomber to cause the largest number of victims.
