US Aiding ISIL, Other Terrorists in Western Iraq

The Arabic-language al-Ma’aloumeh news website quoted Qusai al-Anbari as saying on Wednesday that the Americans are assisting a terrorist group called Ghosts of Desert in desert areas of al-Anbar, adding that they have been airdropping foodstuff packages for the ISIL from helicopters hovering over the region in the past few days.

Meantime, Hassan Salem, a representative of Iraq’s al-Fatah coalition in the parliament, referred to the American forces’ illegal deployment in Iraq and Washington’s attempts to revive the terrorist groups in the country, and stressed the legislature’s firm determination to expel them and close Ain al-Assad base which is under the US occupation.

Al-Anbari had also warned last week that the US army was training hundreds of ISIL terrorists in al-Anbar province after relocating them from Syria to Iraq to prepare them for a new round of insecurities in the country.

“Between 700 to 1,000 ISIL militants are being trained by the US troops in al-Anbar province,” al-Maloumeh quoted al-Anbari as saying.

He pointed to the special conditions considered for the ISIL militants, and said that the US troops had specified redlines for third parties to avoid approaching the region.

This is while the Arabic-language Arabi Post recently disclosed that the US troops had been intensively training the ISIL terrorists in two military bases of Ain al-Assad and al-Habanieh in al-Anbar province under name of Ghosts of Desert.

The sources said the US army troops had equipped the ISIL terrorists with 200 military and non-military vehicles.
