Security In Iraq Sep 8-14, 2021
Violence shot back up in Iraq during the second week of September. That was marked by the Islamic State returning to operations in Diyala. Pro-Iran groups also carried out a few attacks upon American targets. There were a total of 28 security incidents recorded in Iraq from September 8-14. That was up from 20 the week before. Since the spring there have been jumps in attacks, but they only last for a few weeks. Then there is a dip and then they go back up. That coincided with the Islamic State’s annual spring and summer offensives. It’s yet to be seen whether the September act... read more
