Iraqi officials say 26 foreigners, including four German women, have been arrested in the northern city of Mosul, which used to serve as the Daesh terrorist group’s last stronghold.

The Associated Press reported the figure on Saturday, citing three Iraqi intelligence and investigative officials.

The rest of those arrested comprised 14 more females, two men, and eight children, it said, adding they have all been transferred to Baghdad.

The Germans, they said, were of Moroccan, Algerian, Chechen, and German descent, adding that they had allegedly been working with Daesh in the outfit’s police force.

The French and German embassies have visited the women, the report said. It further cited the officials as saying they expected that the children be handed over to the countries they belonged to, and the women be tried on terrorism charges.
