Members of a “death squad” that killed several Iraqi activists were arrested on Monday, Prime Minister Mustafa Al Kadhimi said, as the government attempts to clamp down on assassinations.
The government has been under pressure to find and punish the killers of activists calling for reforms, with public concern mounting over the frequency of these attacks. The death squad who terrorised our people in Basra, and killed innocents, are now in the hands of our heroic forces, on their way to a fair trial, Mr Al Kadhimi said on Twitter.
The identity of the group was not made public.
