Iraq has completed interrogations of 5,704 ISIS suspects transferred from Syria and is preparing to bring them to trial, according to the Supreme Judicial Council. The First Karkh Investigation Court, specializing in terrorism cases, concluded the interrogation phase in February and now aims to move the cases to trial based on collected evidence. Among the suspects, 474 are Iraqi nationals and 3,497 are Syrians, with detainees representing 67 different nationalities.
