| 2015-11-10 |
| [Hurriyet] Iraqi Defense Ministry has sent back two aircrafts carrying weapons to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and Kuwait after detaining them for a few days, the Dogan News Agency (DHA) reported. "Upon an order by the Iraqi Armed Forces Command, the two planes which were carrying weapons to Kurdistan have been deported and sent back with their entire cargo to their bases in Kuwait and Turkey after being withheld at Baghdad International Airport for a few days," DHA quoted a written statement released by the Iraqi Defense Ministry on Nov. 9. As of Nov. 2, an English-language Iranian news agency, the Fars News Agency (FNA), reported that the Iraqi government seized two planes of the member states of the U.S.-led coalition against 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) that were carrying weapons to KRG without prior coordination or information-sharing with Baghdad. "The inspection committee in Baghdad International Airport has found a huge number of rifles equipped with silencers, as well as light and mid-sized weapons," the agency quoted the head of the Iraqi Parliament's Security and Defense Commission, Hakem al-Zameli, as saying at the time. Zameli told the agency that a Swedish and a Canadian airplane were going to fly to the same region but were seized after arms cargo was discovered. Turkish officials have not yet been available for comment on the news reports. |
