10,000 tribal fighters to join the Army, says Anbar Council
2015-02-16
[IraqiNews.com] On Sunday, Anbar Provincial Council announced, that a military force consisting of 10 thousands fighters from the rustics of al-Anbar will join the ranks of the Iraqi Army.
The tree of freedom being watered by the blood of patriots -- good for them. But how realistic is that number? And how dependable are the tribal levies as troops?
The Head of al-Anbar Council Sabah Karhoot stated, "Anbar Provincial Council has held a meeting with clan leaders of al-Anbar in order to discuss current problems in the province," pointing out that, "The meeting came out with a number of points, including the formation of a military force that would include 10 thousands fighters from the rustics of al-Anbar."

Yesterday, Iraqi joint forces, with support from the IAF and warplanes of the international coalition against ISIS, have managed to liberate the center of the district of al-Baghdadi in an extensive military operation in Anbar.
