The Iraqi interior ministry dismissed 15,000 of its staff recently within a campaign to "purify" the ministry of "bad" workers, a ministry official said on Saturday.

"The ministry will continue dismissing anyone found involved in financial or administrative corruption cases or in other crimes marring the ministry or Iraqi citizens," Maj. General Abdul-Kareem Khalaf, director of the interior ministry's National Command Center, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

Khalaf said a number of those sacked were referred to courts on charges of corruption, bribe-taking, forgery and theft, while others were dismissed for inefficiency in protecting civilians.
