Iraq’s Hashd al-Sha’abi: U.S.-led Forces Attacking Anbar Base



BAGHDAD (Press TV) – Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units have accused the U.S.-led coalition purportedly fighting the Daesh terrorist group of attacking its base in the country’s western province of Anbar as government troops and their allies are seeking to purge the war-ravaged Arab country of remnants of the Daesh terrorist group.
Commander of the volunteer forces – better known by the Arabic word Hashd al-Sha’abi – in Western Anbar, Qassim Mosleh, told the Arabic-language al-Forat news agency that Danish forces launched eight artillery rounds at a base belonging to the pro-government fighters in the Sa’ada area of al-Qa'im district, located nearly 400 kilometers northwest of the capital Baghdad.
Mosleh added that the projectiles slammed into an area close to the base, describing the incident as a "deliberate attack.” No Hashd al-Sha’abi fighter was dead or injured as a result.
