Anbar's police has launched a sudden inspection operation that targeted the displacement camps south of Fallujah to search for wanted criminals, a security source in the Anbar police command said on Friday.

The campaign comes in conjunction with the intention of the security forces to return dozens of displaced families to their original areas after they were liberated from ISIS, the source said.

Iraqi politician Hameed al-Hayes, head of the Al-Anbar Salvation Council, said that over 800 terrorists entered Iraq, particularly through the western desert of Anbar.
