| Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Denmark has added USD3.7 million for landmine clearance efforts in Iraq, the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... reported on Tuesday as the country struggles to contain hazards from explosives left over from the war against 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... myrmidons. "The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) in Iraq welcomes a renewed contribution of twenty five million (25,000,000) Danish Kroner (USD 3.7 million) from the Government of Denmark in support of UNMAS’ activities that are providing an explosive hazard management response in areas liberated from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... (ISIS)", read a statement by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI). "The Government of Denmark, has supported UNMAS for the past three years and has already provided ninety million (90,000,000) Danish Kroner (USD 11.7 million) towards these critical activities," the statement added. UNMAS says it has removed about 45,000 explosive hazards including 748 improvised bombs (IEDs) in Iraq since January 2017. Iraq’s war against Islamic State since 2014 has left Iraqi soil contaminated with thousands of tons of unwent kaboom!ordnance and booby-traps. Leftover explosives have occasionally went kaboom!, killing several civilians since Iraqi authorities declared victory over the holy warrior group last year. |
