Canadian Air Force Gives ISIS a Big Assist in Iraq
Military Source: Iraqi Army Positions in Anbar Province Hit by Canadian Fighter Jet



26 November, 2014

TEHRAN (FNA)- Military sources announced on Monday that the warplane that bombarded the Iraqi army’s military positions in Anbar province on Sunday belonged to Canada’s Air Force.

The announcement came after Arab media outlets reported that a fighter jet of the US-led coalition has hit Iraqi forces’ positions again.

The warplane that hit the Iraqi army positions in the city of Fallujah in Al-Anbar province was Canadian,” the Arabic-language al-Soumeria news website quoted an Iraqi military source as saying today.

Nine Iraqi Security Forces soldiers were confirmed dead in an errant US airstrike last week in support of ground troops in al-Naimiyah, Fallujah. Over 20 total deaths and 30 injuries have been reported in the incident.

The incident came as the Iraqi army had made great advances in Fallujah’s Southern peripheries in Anbar province, and retook key buildings.

Meantime, a lawmaker from the Iraqi Parliament’s Al-Muwatin (Citizen Alliance) coalition called for an immediate investigation into a US airstrike that led to the death of Iraqi soldiers.

We see that the Coalition air force strikes on Iraqi Army camps continue, coinciding with the victories of the army, thus in itself showing the frivolity of the international coalition against Daesh [Arabic acronym for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant] and in efforts to eradicate terrorism,” Mohammed Masoudi said. “Therefore, we reiterate our call for the Iraqi government to open an urgent investigation to clarify the circumstances of the incident.”

Iraqi parliament security and defense committee chief Hakim Zamli told Sputnik last week that Baghdad was planning to pursue the matter through the courts, holding the United States accountable for what it sees as a war crime. US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter later extended his condolences to Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi for the deaths.




(IraqiNews.com) Salahuddin – On Monday, al-Hashed al-Shaabi leader Jabbar al-Maamouri announced, that the security forces have found a mobile phone belonging to a prominent leader in ISIS who was killed near al-Sharqat District north of Salahuddin, while noted that the phone uncovered the role of the Turkish Intelligence in backing ISIS by securing entry and exit passages for the elements of the organization.

Maamouri said in a statement obtained by IraqiNews.com, “A special security force from al-Hashd al-Shaabi found a new mobile phone with the body of a prominent Syrian leader in ISIS who was killed in an ambush near Sharqat District north of Salahuddin, two days ago.”

He continued, “The content of the mobile phone has been examined, especially text messages, which uncovered the Turkish intelligence role in supporting ISIS by securing entry and exit passages for the leaders of the organization from Turkey to Iraq and Syria, and vice versa,” adding that, “The mobile also contained other serious information which can’t be disclosed, and it was sent to the competent security authorities.”

Noteworthy, Russia has declared the possession of evidences that Turkey is the main consumer of oil extracted from the territory controlled by ISIS, while the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his family were accused of engaging in commercial activities with ISIS.
