Iraq’s Hashd Al-Sha’abi Foils Daesh Plot to Occupy Diyala Oil Wells
DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – Iraq’s popular Hashd al-Sha’abi forces have thwarted a Daesh plot to occupy the oil wells in Iraq’s Diyala province, a senior security official sys.
Head of the security committee at Diyala governor-general’s office Sadeq al-Hosseini told the Arabic-language al-Ma’aloumeh website that Hashd al-Sha’abi forces in Naft Khaneh region repelled the Daesh plot to occupy the oil wells in the region.
He added that Hashd al-Sha’abi adopted the strategy of line of fire in its recent operations to confront the Daseh terrorist attacks against the oil-rich region of Naft Khaneh and the adjacent areas.
"Hashd al-Sha’abi plays a strategic role in establishing security in Diyala and is in control of an extensive area in the province which sometimes witnesses activities of the remnants of the Daesh terrorists,” al-Hosseini said.
Hashd al-Sha’abi continues fight against the Daesh while, according to latest reports, the U.S. jets shrug off targeting the terrorists’ hideouts in al-Anbar province in western Iraq.
A security source at Hashd al-Sha’abi command center told al-Ma’aloumeh news website that the U.S. warplanes in northern al-Anbar near the province of Saladdin close their eyes on Daesh moves, adding that the U.S. indifference has entailed negative impacts on the province’s security and stability.
"The U.S. jets fly for a long time over these regions but they refrain from bombing the Daesh centers,” a move that runs counter to the U.S. troops’ main excuse for their presence at Ein al-Assad airbase, he said.
Another high-ranking Iraqi security source said in September that the U.S. continues its support for the Daesh terrorist group in southwestern Kirkuk.
The U.S. troops stationed in Iraqi Army’s Division 14 Command Headquarters have warned the Iraqi troops not to bombard the Daesh’s military positions in Makhoul mountainous region, the source noted.
He told al-Ma’aloumeh that the U.S. troops had also warned the Iraqi army not to conduct any ground or air operations in the mountainous region and its surrounding areas against Daesh.
