| Iraq to deploy soldiers to key Kurdistan border crossing |
| 2017-10-30 |
| [PRESSTV] Members of the Iraqi Federal Police force are going to be deployed to a key border crossing in the country’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region after Iraqi government forces and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters reached an agreement in a bid to resolve a conflict about control of border crossings. An Iraqi government source, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... , told AFP that Iraqi and Kurdish military commanders struck a deal in the strategic northern city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , located some 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of the capital Baghdad, late on Sunday for government forces to take control of Fishkhabur border crossing. Fishkhabur is a vital oil export point on the border with ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and Syria. Peshmerga fighters exchanged heavy artillery fire with the Iraqi army soldiers there over the past few days. Iraqi officials then gave the Kurds an ultimatum to withdraw from the area around Fishkhabur "within several hours." |
