Three men have been charged with terrorism offences after Iraqi security forces thwarted an attempt to target vital infrastructure in the capital with Katyusha rockets.
Authorities made the arrests after they received intelligence about the cell's intentions, Baghdad Operations Command said on Wednesday.
Two Katyusha rockets, two missile fuses, six detonators and one detonation timer were seized by a SWAT team in Tarmiyah, north of Baghdad.
Pictures posted on the Baghdad Operations Command’s official Facebook page showed the three men in yellow prison jumpsuits with their faces blurred following their capture and arrest.
Katyusha rockets have been regularly used to hit Baghdad's fortified Green Zone.
The Green Zone hosts foreign embassies, including the US embassy, and government buildings and is regularly the target of rockets fired by groups that US and Iraqi officials say are backed by Iran.
