SULAIMANI — Kurdistan Regional
Government (KRG) Prime Minister Masrour Barzani met with Peshmerga Minister
Shorsh Ismael and Minister of Interior Rebar Ahmed on Sunday (January 23) to
discuss the threat of recent Islamic State (ISIS) activity, official media
reported.
The high officials spoke on concerns
over recent ISIS attacks in Iraq and Syria and insisted on the importance of
strengthening the lines of defense and procedures to protect the Kurdistan
Region from the threat of ISIS.
The announcement from the KRG
Department of Media Information noted the necessity of continuous contact
between security in the Kurdistan Region, the Iraqi Federal Government and the
Coalition against ISIS.
There has been a resurgence of ISIS activity
in both Syria and Iraq over the past month. One of the most-deadly attacks on
Iraqi forces in months occurred early on Friday morning when 11 soldiers were
killed in an attack on a barracks in Diyala.
In an ongoing situation in Hasaka,
Syria, ISIS sleeper cells coordinated three explosions in connection with a
mass prison break attempt. Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continue to battle
escaped militants and insurgents in the vicinity of the prison.
