Twelve suspected militants have been arrested in connection with a deadly church siege in Baghdad last month, Iraq’s interior minister says.
Jawad Bolani said the arrests were made in raids over recent days and described them as a blow to al-Qaeda.
More than 50 people were killed when militants took over the Our Lady of Salvation church on 31 October.
The gunmen seized the Catholic church during Sunday Mass, demanding the release of al-Qaeda prisoners.
I hope we will get follow-up information on this and that the criminals who did this are prosecuted and punished.
