Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The United States is working on securing more than USD1.115 billion for Iraq for reconstruction and explosives removal efforts, its ambassador in Baghdad was quoted saying on Tuesday.NRTTV quoted ambassador Douglas Silliman saying in a presser that the United States would secure USD115 million for reconstruction, as well as nearly USD1.7 billion for the removal of explosives left over by the war against Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... since 2014. According to Silliman, work will be done for the repatriation of nearly three million refugees in Iraq. Silliman also denied recent reports of a surge in international coalition troops in Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... explaining that recent military movements were merely for the transportation of military equipment. Landmines and booby-traps left over by Islamic State snuffies across several Iraqi cities have killed and maimed many as Iraqi troops gradually took over areas occupied by the snuffies since the launch of a major, U.S.-backed security offensive in 2016. Iraq has used billions of dollars from several world countries and international agencies to rehabilitate infrastructure devastated by the three-year war Posted by: trailing wife 2017-12-06 |
