Saairun Alliance MP Ghayeb Faisal revealed that some states are mediating to release terrorists detained in Iraq who belong to these states.

Faisal said that Iraq's stance would not allow terrorists to be extradited before they receive their fair punishment.

Parliament's defense and security committee member Abbas Sarwat on Monday revealed information about the entry of hundreds of terrorists carrying no nationality to Iraq, along with their families, to carry out suspicious schemes.

Sarwat revealed that the number of these terrorists and their families reaches about 2,500 people.

Anbar MP Yahya al-Mohamadi on Monday called on Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi to provide an official explanation for the information about receiving such a number of terrorists in Iraq, who he said their countries refused to allow them to return.

This comes after Iraq announced liberating its cities from ISIS in 2017 in the term of former Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi.
