Baghdad, Apr 8, (VOI) – Starting from tomorrow, Iraqi security forces will target gunmen in Basra province, who did not take advantage of the amnesty period to hand over their weapons with the end of the ultimatum, the Basra operations commander said on Tuesday.

"Security forces will target gunmen who did not exploit the opportunity to hand over their weapons, and they will be punished according to law," Major General Abdul-Kareem Khalaf told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI).

"Iraqi security forces have intelligence information regarding the location of weapons and gunmen in Basra," he noted.

Khalaf asserted, "Operations will not harm civilians, as opening fire will be avoided, unless there is a necessity."
