dijlahpoint - The US Homeland Security Investigations office in Detroit announced on Tuesday (September 15, 2026) the arrest of Rad Al-Anbaki, a former senior officer in the Iraqi intelligence service under the former regime. US media reports said the American agency refrained from releasing further details regarding the detainee's military rank, the nature of his previous duties, or the formal charges filed against him, merely noting that legal proceedings against him are ongoing. According to the reports, the arrest operation raised wide-ranging questions within security and media circles about the vetting mechanisms applied to foreigners entering the United States, particularly regarding the challenges of uncovering the backgrounds of individuals formerly linked to foreign intelligence apparatuses.
