Iraqi official says terror threat eliminated from Anbar desert
2018-04-23
Anbar (IraqiNews.com) An Iraqi official said Sunday that security operations meant to eliminate 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....
members from Iraq’s western desert have come to an end.

Naeem al-Kaud, chairman of the security committee of Anbar Province council, told al-Hayat newspaper that "Iraqi forces have staged a preemptive operation to purge Anbar’s desert and prevent any violation that could threaten its security during elections".

According to Kaud, "the desert has almost become free of ISIS (Islamic State), and the threat is over", adding that "the Iraqi army is fully in control there due to a shortage in Federal Police elements".
