Security
(VOI) - Iraqi security forces have embarked on constructing a concrete wall in Muqdadiyah district, while seven suspected gunmen were arrested in Baaquba, 57 km northeast of Baghdad, a security source said on Saturday. "Security forces started today constructing a concrete wall in central Muqdadiyah under new security measures taken to protect residents in the district," the source, who asked not to be named, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI). He added "the wall will enable total control of Muqdadiyah to curb the armed attacks that targeted civilians and security forces in the city." Muqdadiyah is 45 km east of Baaquba, capital city of Diala province. Meanwhile, the source said seven suspected militants were detained during a security crackdown carried out by Iraqi and U.S. troops in Baaquba.
