BAGHDAD, Feb.25 (AKnews)- Baghdad Provincial Council has allocated 20 million IQD (almost $17million) from 2012 budget to purchase and assign sophisticated surveillance cameras all over the province.
The 2012 budget of the country which stands at $100.5 billion was ratified Thursday evening.
The current cameras in Baghdad are not enough and they are not of the desired quality, said Baghdad Council member Mohammed al-Rabee. Besides, the current cameras record the movement for only a limited duration, not round the clock.
This has paved the way for "terrorists" to continuously attack Baghdad with car bombs and improvised explosive devices, he added.
1 iqd = 0.85 usd. cth 20M IQD = 17M USD ??
