Iraqi Police Detain 3 Iranians in Mosul
A police checkpoint in Mosul on Friday. Mosul is Iraq's 3rd largest city with a population of 1.75 million. Home to daily sectarian violence, control of Mosul is disputed between the Arab and Kurdish population.
Iraqi police detained three Iranians who were found without documentation in the northern city of Mosul, a provincial commander said Sunday.
The three were seized Saturday after they were found without passports while riding with a Kurdish driver, said Maj. Gen. Wathiq al-Hamdani, the police commander for Ninevah province.
He said they claimed they had authorization to travel in the adjacent Kurdish-controlled region but mistakenly entered Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad. Al-Hamdani said the three were under investigation.
