More than 7,000 security personnel sacked for ‘corruption’

The Ministry of Interior has fired more than 7,000 of its employees for involvement in ‘corruptin.’

It is the largest purge in the ministry following accusations that Iraq’s newly formed security forces are more corruptive than counterparts under former leader Saddam Hussein.

The purge comes in the aftermath of U.N. reports accusing the ministry’s organs and forces of massive human rights violations.

...

There are fears that the purge was done on sectarian grounds as the minority Muslim Sunnis say most of the ministry’s forces belong to the opposing Shiite Muslim groups.

4. These are Shia they fired not Sunnis

And, they were most likely fired for being part of death squads not corruption.
