| [Iran Press TV] A large number of Iraqi volunteers have rushed to military recruitment centers to join the battle against forces of Evil from the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL). On Tuesday, hundreds of volunteers gathered at the Federal Police Command headquarters in the capital Storied Baghdad to receive application forms and go through required medical tests. Security officials in Basra say up to 100000 people in the province have registered to fight alongside government troops. This comes as Iraq's top Shia holy man Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani has called on all Iraqi people and political factions to unite and support the government and army in their battle against the terrorists. Meanwhile, ...back at the Esquimeau village Jack was learning how to rub noses with Nootka's wife...... Iraq's army front man says security forces have the upper hand against the forces of Evil from the ISIL. General Qassim Atta says troops, in their latest battles, have conducted anti-terror operations against the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... forces of Evil in several locations across the country. Iraqi media say over a dozen Takfiri forces of Evil have been killed as army warplanes pounded multiple targets in the town of Baiji --- home to the country's largest oil refinery. The area has seen fierce festivities over the past days. |
