Babylon: Police forces arrested four suspects of unlicensed weapons trade in Babylon. Babylon Police Media Director Major General Adel Al-Husseini said: “The suspects were arrested red-handed during a raid on a den in the city of Al-Mahawil, and a number of unlicensed Kalashnikov rifles were seized in their possession.”

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the operation was part of a broader initiative to crack down on illegal arms trading in the region. The authorities have been intensifying their efforts to curb the circulation of unlicensed weapons, which poses significant security concerns.

The suspects are currently in custody, and investigations are underway to determine the extent of their operations and any potential links to larger arms trafficking networks. The police are committed to dismantling such networks and ensuring the safety of the community.
