Iraqi intelligence says kidnapping-for-ransom ring targeting migrant workers was dismantled

Iraq's National Intelligence Service said ten foreign nationals were arrested in Baghdad and alleged that the group lured migrant workers with false job offers, held them and demanded ransom from their families. The arrests and alleged conduct remain official claims; no judicial finding was located by verification time.

Shafaq News and Kurdistan24 relay the Iraqi National Intelligence Service statement, which directly establishes only that the agency announced ten arrests and made the allegations. The reports do not independently corroborate the alleged conduct, and no judicial finding was located. The migrant-worker label is explicit and material in the reporting; no nationality or personal identifier is republished. The displayed time is Shafaq News's publication time, and the marker is a Baghdad city reference point rather than an arrest or victim location.
