| 2014-11-24 |
| [AnNahar] Iraq is seeking Jordan's military support in training its troops battling the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadist group, the Iraqi parliament speaker said Sunday during a visit to Amman. "We firmly believe we need the support of the Jordanian kingdom in training our security forces," Salim al-Juburi told a presser. "This will be on the agenda of our talks with our Jordanian brothers and we think the kingdom has a crucial role to play in this area," said Juburi, speaking alongside his Jordanian counterpart Atef Tarawneh. Juburi pointed out that Turkey, another neighbor of Iraq, had offered its military support in the fight against IS, which has seized swathes of Iraq and Syria. Jordan borders Iraq's Anbar province, much of which has been overrun by IS, and is one of several Arab countries taking part in U.S.-led air strikes against the jihadist group in Syria. |
