Abadan, Khuzestan prov, Dec 6, IRNA – Iranian Deputy Police Chief Brigadier Hossein Ashtari said Saturday that Iran and Iraq will develop cooperation on campaign against terrorism.

The presence of people in Iraq on Arbaeen is a preventive threat to Takfiri groups in the country and their foreign agents, Ashtari said.
