| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] In late May, an Iraqi holy man called Akram Kaabi visited militia fighters in a desolate Iraqi town near the Syrian border. Kaabi, who heads a Shiite Moslem militia named Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, was decked out in a camouflage uniform and led the fighters in prayer on mats laid on the dusty ground. A video of the session showed heavily armed holy warriors standing guard. The event took place in Qayrawan, a town the Nujaba militia had seized back from ISIS, the radical Sunni Moslem group. Nujaba, whose name means ’the Virtuous,’ have also fought across the border in Syria, where they have lent support to  Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Despoiler of Deraa... in the fight against ISIS and others. |
