| Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraq has not carried out military operations against 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.... snuffies in neighboring Syria, the defense ministry said on Wednesday as speculations grow about a possible Iraqi action against the snuffies beyond the borders. Ministry front man Tahseen Ibrahim told Almaalomah website that "security forces have not conducted any military operation inside the Syrian borders, and media reports about that are untrue". According to Ibrahim, "the federal government has started tracking ISIS (IS) elements on the intelligence level by sharing information with other countries". He added that Iraq is currently "engaged in a broad cooperation with regional countries, sharing intelligence information on the activity and presence of runaway ISIS elements". Earlier this week, London-based The New Arab said elite Iraqi forces and U.S. commando teams were carrying out special operations targeting IS leaders inside Syria. Also recently, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in a weekly briefing that his country had ended IS’s presence on its soil, and that plans were there to start the stage of chasing the snuffies in Syria. |
