Hashd al-Sha’abi to participate in liberation of Hawijah
2017-07-14
[Iran Press TV] The front man for pro-government Popular Mobilization Units, commonly by the Arabic name Hashd al-Sha’abi, says the volunteer fighters will join army soldiers in counter-terrorism operations to liberate the last remaining areas in Iraq still controlled by 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...
ISIS terrorists.

Ahmed al-Assadi stated on Thursday that his fellow fighters "will be a main partner in liberating Hawijah and all other krazed killer-controlled regions."

The town of Hawijah, located 45 kilometers west of the oil-rich northern city of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
has been under the control of ISIS murderous Moslems since June 2014, when the turbans’ leader Ibrahim al-Samarrai aka 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...
declared his self-styled "caliphate."

Assadi’s remarks came only three days after Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi formally declared victory over ISIS bandidos holy warriors in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, which served as the terrorists’ main urban stronghold in the conflict-ridden Arab country.

In the run-up to Mosul liberation, Iraqi army soldiers and volunteer fighters from the Popular Mobilization Units had made sweeping gains against ISIS since launching the Mosul operation on October 17, 2016.

The Iraqi forces took control of eastern Mosul in January after 100 days of fighting, and launched the battle in the west on February 19.
