(AhlulBayt News Agency) - An Iraqi lawmaker said the US is currently training some 8,000 members of ISIS in Syria for carrying out terrorist operations in Iraq.
According to al-Sumaria news, Ferdows Awadi, a member of the State of Law Coalition in the parliament, warned the Baghdad government against the plot.
She warned that if the government fails to take the necessary measures, parts of the country might fall to terrorists.
“Currently, there is an American plot being hatched to revive the Daesh terror group and help it to again occupy parts of the country’s north and west,” she said.
They are also seeking to entangle Iraq in a new war and create economic problems, Awadi added.
She called on all Iraqis to counter the plot, which also targets the “heroes” of Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces).
In December 2017, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the end of a three-year war by the country's forces to drive the ISIS out of the country.
ISIS had seized vast areas north and west of Baghdad in a lightning offensive in 2014, endangering the very existence of the Iraqi state.
