Lt. Gen. Saad Maan, who heads the Iraqi government’s Security Media Network, confirmed that the group’s members would be incorporated into the two security institutions.

Asked which agencies would receive the fighters, Maan identified the Interior Ministry and Hashd al-Shaabi as the bodies responsible for integrating them.
