The Iraqi judiciary on March 12, 2024 sentenced a suspected Islamic State (ISIS) murderer in Anbar province to death, the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) reported.
The PMF’s investigations and preventive security directorate announced that its forces had arrested a suspected ISIS security member in Anbar’s Fallujah city. The individual is accused of having been specialized in “assassinating officers and security members, and preparing car bombs,” during the militant group’s control over the province.
