The security forces were able to encircle the ''Falluja ISIS'' cell, after chasing it in the aftermath of targeting their police forces in the city, while the Iraqi authorities said they have confiscated IEDs and bombing devises in the process of dismantling the cell.

This comes while the Iraqi military forces denied a high alarm status in Baghdad, explaining that the security status is stable completely.

In a statement, the armed forces denied what is being rumored on some social media websites, about the high alarm status in the capital, and added that "the security situation is completely stable, and that what was raised about the presence of a telegram to enter the security forces in a state of warning" today, Friday, "does not exceed the subject of the usual daily security practices, which are morning and evening."

Lately, the Iraqi authorities had arrested head of the so-called ISIS intelligence and his aide in Baghdad, according to the Iraqi News Agency on a telegram.

The Iraqi security forces continue to chase ISIS mercenaries in the country, through raiding and landing operations in some areas.

In the mid of last September, the Anti-Terror Units conducted an airdrop operation in al-Rutba province, west of the country, that resulted in the capture of the main sponsor in al-Rutba, and arresting another leading figure.
