2018-02-19
Anbar (Iraqinews.com) ‐ Head of Anbar Salvation Council Sheikh Humaid al-Hayes has uncovered a desire by 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) members to run for the upcoming parliamentary election, slated for May.

Speaking to Sputnik news agency, Hayes said, "Six to eight loyalists and former members of the Islamic State group in Anbar are gearing up to run for the May parliamentary election."

Hayes pointed out that his council is "going to send a list of the IS members seeking to run in parliamentary polls to the federal government" to take appropriate action.

He also admitted that dozens of IS holy warriors have returned back to Anbar regions along with repatriated families after being released for the lack of sufficient evidence and corruption.
