Baghdad, Jul 17, (VOI) - Special passes will be given to Baghdad’s residents to control their entry and exit to the capital, to prevent gunmen and militias from getting in, the spokesman for the ‘Law Imposition’ plan said on Tuesday.

“Areas in Baghdad like Dora, Amirya, Ghazalia, Saydia and Hay al-Amil will witness an improved security situation in the coming period,” the spokesman told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

He revealed the “existence of extensive military and security plans to eradicate terrorist groups by relying on precise intelligence reports provided by citizens,” adding that three joint security centers will open in Dora, Khadhimya and Ghazalia, and two centers each in Hay al-Jamea, Amirya and Hay al-Amil.”

“The issuing of civilian passes will be expanded to include all areas of Baghdad after cleansing the terrorist elements out and before the start of the second phase of the ‘Law Imposition’ plan, which includes holding ground, in addition to establishing joint security centers,” he continued.
