Iraqi troops regain control of al-Sab
[Iran Press TV] Iraqi soldiers have pushed the ISIL Takfiri...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... snuffies out of a strategic town near the capital Baghdad, Press TV reports. The strategic town of al-Sab, which is situated to the west of Baghdad and also borders Baghdad Intentional Airport, is now fully under the control of the Iraqi army. The army set up checkpoints at the city's entrance after flushing out the gunnies with the help of volunteer forces. "When we first entered the area of Sab there were snuffies in it. After flushing snuffies out, we informed residents that we are here to protect them from the ISIL. They cooperated with us. Before we got here, snuffies used the area to launch mortar shells and commit acts of violence," Commander Faisal Tamer Faisal told the Press TV correspondent in Abu Gharib. The army's latest success is highly significant as the ISIL snuffies had plans to target Baghdad International Airport from the city. Member of the Badr Movement, Abou Shaima al-Shoumari, told the correspondent, "We are now north of Abu Gharib. We have three tasks to work on: protect the area and the airport and flush out the sleeping cells related to krazed killer in this area. We also intervene in the battle when needed since we are only 40 kilometers (25 miles) away from Fallujah." Posted by: Fred 2014-10-22 |
