Iraqi PM Vows to Target Terrorists Attacking Electricity Grid 

CAIRO - Iraq's top military commander and prime minister say they have a plan to stop Islamic State terrorists from creating more power blackouts.

Iraqi state TV reported Saturday that four IS terrorists had been captured in the regions of Kirkuk, Nineveh, Salaheddin and Anbar province, in the wake of recent attacks on the country's electricity grid, including one Friday that left a large swath of Baghdad without water. Interior Ministry spokesman General Saad Maan told the TV service that security forces have had some success in foiling recent attacks. He said 23 attempts to damage electricity pylons had been thwarted in the past few days. Prime Minister Mustafa Kadhimi tweeted Friday that the terrorists behind the recent attacks "do not wish the country well" and are "becoming desperate in the face of Iraq's success in increasing electricity production."
