it has the honor to inform the Legation that this incident was the subject of correspondence between
the Iraqi Commissioner in Halabja and his colleague the Iranian Commissioner, which ended with the notification
by the Iraqi Commissioner to his Iranian colleague that deep investigations indicated that the mentioned
individuals were captured on the border line by brigands and were taken by them to the
caves of Golin Dasht and Hazar Bez located in Iranian territory, and after staying
with the brigands for a few days they escaped from them, and it was not confirmed to the Iraqi authorities that the
brigands entered the village of Krisana, but rather they are still hiding in Iranian territory.
The Ministry takes this opportunity to express its highest appreciation and respect.

The Iranian Legation has claimed that the outlaws belonging to
Mahmud Khan attacked the neighboring villages and (5) Iranian
individuals who came to Iraq to visit Sheikh Hussam al-Din and stayed
for a period in a cave located in Iraqi territory until they were able,
when the opportunity arose, to escape to Iranian territory.
But it appeared that the attack took place during their departure. The
aforementioned Legation requested the arrest of the said outlaws
and their extradition.
It appears from this response of the Administration that
the case mentioned therein is the same case
about which the correspondence was detailed in the Administration's letter
S (758), in which the Iraqi ⟦Consul⟧ mentioned to his Iranian colleague
that the investigation proved the incident occurred
in Iranian territory, not in Iraqi territory,
and it did not show that any of the outlaws were in Iraqi territory.
We submit the result to take necessary action along with the correctness of the statements of Justice and Police.

that five persons from the residents of the village of Nol - Javanrud, who are mentioned below:-
Ahmed . Aziz . Muhammad . Majid . Mustafa
went on February 6, 1936, to Bagh Kohneh to visit Sheikh Hussam al-Din, then they headed towards
Javanrud in the company of six persons from the residents of the village of (Tawila) who had left
Iraqi territory. While they were walking on the road, they met two armed outlaws, namely
the ones called Ahmed bin Qadir al-Nuryani and Yusuf al-Nowsudi, between the villages of (Balkha) and (Byara).
The two aforementioned outlaws arrested the previously mentioned persons, but they released
the six who are from the residents of Tawila and took the five who are from the residents of Javanrud to
a mountain located near the village of Kridaneh and imprisoned them in a cave where Muhammad Reza Bek and Muhammad Taqi Bek,
the sons of Jaafar Sultan, and four other outlaws were present, namely:
Awla = Muhammad Salih = Muhammad Said = Salih Kurdah. And they told them that they would
kill them if they did not pay one hundred Tomans. As a result, these people managed to escape at an opportunity that arose for them,
however, one of their companions, named Ali Muhammad, went missing while crossing the water located next to the village of
