Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) has thwarted a suicide attack on Iraqi citizens in Al-Anbar Governate.

According to Ghasem Mosleh, a senior PMU commander, the terrorist move was foiled on Sunday in the city of al-Qa’im in western Anbar Governate through vigilance of the resistance group’s fighters, Mawazin News Agency reported.

He said in a statement, “After receiving confidential information that terrorists were preparing to carry out a terrorist operation in Al-Qa’im against the security forces and citizens, the forces discovered and confiscated an explosive belt for the operation, along with other explosives.”

Mosleh emphasized, “Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi fighters vigilantly and cautiously followed the confidential information related to the terrorists’ planning and nipped their plot in the bud.”
