| [Iran Press TV] Al-Qaeda-affiliated forces of Evil have stepped up their terrorist attacks in Iraq to disrupt its security in the run-up to the country's parliamentary elections, Press TV reports. Militants from the so-celled Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... (ISIL), who have been fighting government troops in the country's western regions, including Anbar province, have increasingly targeted Iraqi security forces and civilians. In their latest attempt, the ISIL forces of Evil closed all gates of a Euphrates river dam they control in the Iraqi city of Fallujah in Anbar on Monday. The citizens of Fallujah have called on the Iraqi government to attack the al-Qaeda-linked forces of Evil as they believe this would put an end to the bloodshed in the city and other parts of the country. "The forces of Evil bombarded bridges, cut off water and killed innocent people, now I think the government will carry out a military strike on Fallujah to eliminate the last stronghold of forces of Evil in Anbar," political analyst Adnan al-Siraj told Press TV. On Monday, at least 15 people, including a policeman, were killed and several others injured in attacks across Iraq. The country is preparing for parliamentary polls set for April 30. |
