Iraqi army launches large-scale operation against Daesh in Anbar
[Iran Press TV] The Iraqi army has launched a large-scale operation against ISIS in the desert areas of the western Anbar Province as the terrorist group is being dealt final blows in the country's fight against the 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... terrorists. An Iraqi army lieutenant colonel said the military, backed by local tribal fighters, began the operation against murderous Moslem hideouts early Thursday. "The security forces are advancing from an area called 'Kilometer 160', west of [Anbar historic provincial capital city,] Ramadi, towards [the town of] Nukhayb," the officer added. Furthermore, Iraqi Major General Mahmud al-Falahi, the head of Anbar Operations Command, said the Anbar push was aimed at flushing ISIS out of the desert regions and securing the town of Rutbah. Anbar is the largest Iraqi province and borders Syria, Jordan and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... . It has been a murderous Moslem stronghold since 2014 when ISIS swept through Iraq. The Iraqi forces have managed to retake most of the towns and cities in Anbar, but the hard boyz still control areas near the Syrian border. Separately on Thursday, the head of the security committee of the Diyala governorate's general office announced that a ISIS ringleader, identified as Abu Ghatibah, was killed in a rocket attack on the terror outfit's hideout near the city of Baqubah. Abu Ghatibah was close to ISIS leader, Ibrahim al-Samarrai, also known as His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... , the official pointed out. Posted by: Fred 2017-05-12 |
