Unknown Iraqi patch, probably Ministry of Interior

[camonokaPL]

I have a problem with iraqi patch from my collection. I think this a subunit of Ministry of Interior but when I search "MGU" in the Google I find info about Moscow University... So Gentlemens, please help me with identification this patch

It is pretty cool looking though. Could it be a military university patch?

[camonokaPL]

Symbolism on the patch is associated with the iraqi ministry of interior patches. On arabic military academies patches usually is an open book so I think this isn't a this.

The Arabic reads, roughly, Anti-Crime Directorate. But I'm not sure how that would translate into "MGU" -- if it does.

Thanks Chris, probably this is it. I'm starting to look for more info about it.

Hi Guys

This could be the "Military Golden Unit" patch. A specialized Iraqi special forces unit against terrorism.
