Hashd al-Sha’abi Cautions Against U.S. Relocation of Daesh
BAGHDAD (Dispatches) – A senior commander of Iraqi popular Hashd al-Sha’abi forces has warned that the U.S. troops are transferring the Daesh terrorists from Syria to safe areas in Iraq as part of a seemingly major plan to trigger security problems for the Arab nation again.
"The security forces are stationed and guarding the Iraqi-Syrian borders, but the airspace of these regions are fully open to the U.S. planes and helicopters, including Chinook cargo helicopters,” Kazzem al-Fartousi, a commander of Kata’eb Seyed al-Shohada, told the Arabic-language al-Ma’aloumeh news website on Wednesday.
He warned that the U.S. planes and helicopters are never checked by the Iraqi authorities and they easily transfer the terrorists from Syria to safe zone in Iraq in heliborne operations.
Al-Fartousi joined many other senior military commanders and officials deeply wary of what seems to be a scheme by the U.S. to escalate tensions through a revival of terrorist operations by the remnants of Daesh terrorists to undermine the central government in Baghdad and justify the U.S. buildup in Iraq.
An official had earlier revealed that the U.S. troops in Western Iraq are relocating Daesh ringleaders from Syria to Wadi Houran region in western al-Anbar province after the area was cleansed by Hashd al-Sha’abi.
"After the U.S. forces prevented Iraqi forces from approaching Wadi Houran and the western desert of al-Anbar, finally, Hashd al-Sha’abi could remove the existing obstacles and defeat the Daesh terrorists in the region and cleanse Wadi Houran completely,” head of the Badr organization’s office in al-Anbar Qusai al-Anbari told al-Ma’aloumeh.
"But after the cleansing operations, the U.S. forces stationed near the region facilitated the trafficking of the Daesh terrorists and their transfer to Wadi Houran and the western desert by reopening a number of roads and heliborne operations,” he added.
Al-Anbari said that the U.S. troops have in the first stage transferred a number of Daesh ringleaders with foreign nationalities to Wadi Houran and the western desert of al-Anbar to revive the Daesh under a new name to foment insecurity in Iraq.
