Iraqi National Security Adviser Qasim Al-Aboudi said on Monday that Iraqi authorities arrested cells working for Ukraine in Iraq and accused them of carrying out several attacks. In a TV interview, Al-Aboudi revealed that an intelligence unit tasked with analyzing information, has concluded that there is Ukrainian involvement in Iraq, reported Shafaq News. “We arrested a limited number of groups that carried out attacks inside Iraqi territory and targeted several facilities,” he added. “During questioning, they confessed to working for Ukraine.”
Al-Aboudi reportedly did not identify any groups’ targets or say whether or not they’d even launched any attacks. He said attacks inside Iraqi territory constitute “a complex file” requiring extensive investigations before authorities can determine responsibility or formally accuse any party of carrying them out.
