| Anbar (IraqiNews.com) A wide-scale security operation was carried out to secure the Iraqi-Syrian borders from four regions, a commander said on Wednesday. "Security troops of Jazeera Operations Command, army and border guards, backed by tribal fighters, carried out a military operation from four sides including Qaim, Rawa, Rutba and al-Waleed region to secure the Iraqi-Syrian borders and the western desert," Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Muhammadi, the commander, told BasNews. The security operation, according to Muhammadi, "seeks eliminating presence of 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.... cells, along with destroying tunnels and hideouts that could be used by the myrmidons." |
