Sweden will aid anti-ISIS mission for as long as Iraq wants: Ambassador |
2021-10-23 |
[Rudaw] The new Swedish ambassador to Iraq, Jonas Loven, said on Thursday that their country will aid in the fight against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (ISIS) for as long as Iraq requests it. Sweden is a member of the US-led coalition against ISIS that is "here of course on request by Iraq’s government and as long as Iraq sees the need for our presence, we could continue to contribute to these missions," Loven said in an interview with Rudaw’s Bestoon Khalid. ISIS "is not completely defeated. I think Iraq has regained its stability. Iraq is in a completely different place now from what it was say five years ago, but we still see incidents. We still see some terrorist actions by ISIS," he added. "This is also a struggle that we need to keep on the long term." |
