Iraqi intelligence said Sunday it had arrested 31 members of the Islamic State group who were responsible for planning and carrying out 52 attacks in Baghdad. It "resulted in the dismantling of terrorist groups linked to what is k**wn as Wilayat Baghdad (Baghdad province), a part of the terrorist group Daesh," the statement said, using an Arabic acronym for IS. The intelligence service said the 31 people arrested are IS members from all parts of Baghdad, as well as areas south and **rth of the capital. "The reason for the decrease in attacks in Baghdad over the past three weeks is the arrest of this network," Fahim al-Atraqchi told AFP.
