Iraq is set to begin the trial of thousands of Syrian ISIS suspects after completing the interrogation phase. The First Karkh Investigation Court, which specializes in terrorism cases, has finished interrogating all 5,704 suspects, identifying 67 nationalities among them, including 474 Iraqis and 3,497 Syrians. The court has also identified several high-ranking ISIS leaders and individuals involved in various aspects of the organization, such as military, security, financial, and media roles.
