ISIL Commanders Flee Iraq's Fallujah to Turkey: Sources
2015-07-23
[ALMANAR.LB] ISIL Commanders in the Iraqi city of Fallujah reportedly fled to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
after Iraqi forces closed in on terrorist groups in the Western restive province of Anbar.

Abdulrahman al-Namrawee, the head of a local council in Fallujah,
... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids...
said on Tuesday night that the ISIL commanders fled to Turkey after Iraqi security forces and the fighters of the Popular Mobilization units surrounded the city.

He said the commanders pushed their way through the Western part of the city of Ramadi -- the capital of Anbar -- to Syria and then entered Turkey.

Namrawee's narrative has not been confirmed by higher-ranking officials in Iraq yet.

The government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
has been accused of being one of the main supporters of the turban groups operating in Syria, with reports saying that Ankara actively trains and arms the hard boyz in Syria and facilitates their safe passage into the country.
