A new military commander has been appointed to assume responsibility over security issues amid escalations with rumored Daesh-affiliated groups, Baghdad Post reported on Saturday.
Major General Adnan Al-Enezi was named by the Ministry of Defense to succeed Major General Saleh Nasser in running security operations in Diyala province, without giving an explanation for the reshuffle.
Despite Iraq claiming victory in 2017 over the armed group – after reclaiming areas previously occupied by the militants – Daesh still maintains sleeper cells in wide areas across the country and continues to carry out attacks.

TEHRAN: Iran’s national security chief Ali Larijani on Friday openly attended a mass rally in Tehran, dismissing the latest Israeli-US attacks on the capital as being “out of desperation.”
“These attacks are out of fear, out of desperation. One who is strong wouldn’t bomb demonstrations at all. It’s clear that it has failed,” Larijani told state TV while marching for the annual Quds Day rally in support of the Palestinian cause.
A Woman killed after a US-Israeli airstrike hit the vicinity of the Tehran rally on Friday.
The attendance by Larijani was one of the most high-profile public appearances by an Iranian official since the February 28 strike that killed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top officials. National police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan also attended, state TV pictures showed.
