From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the previous Iraqi domestic intelligence agency, see Directorate of General Security.
The General Security Directorate (GSD) (مديرية الامن العامة, Mudiriyat al-Amn al-Amma) was the intelligence agency of Iraq. Although details on its organisation were not made clear at the time, the General Security Directorate's designated mission was to "infiltrate and annihilate Iraq's tenacious insurgency".[1]
