Shia militia may enter Syria if needed: Iraqi VP
 [AA.TR] Iraq's Vice President Nouri al-Maliki said Monday the Shia Hashd al-Shaabi militia could enter Syria to fight for "Syrian brothers" if needed.His statement came amid increased concerns over the armed Shia group to fuel sectarian festivities in northern Iraq, especially the Turkmen-populated city of Tal Afar and the Sunni-populated djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... "If we can be successful against ISIS and liberate our soil, we can go into Syria if our brothers there need help against ISIS," Malik told a press meeting in Iran’s capital Tehran. An umbrella group of pro-government Shia militias, the Hashd al-Shaabi was established in 2014 with the express purpose of fighting the ISIS terrorist group. Posted by: Fred 2017-01-03 |
