    Iraq Prime Minister: No support for ISIL in Sunni areas



    Ahlul Bayt News Agency - Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi says the ISIL terror group receives "no support" from Iraqi people living in Sunni areas of the war-torn country.

    He made the comments on Monday on the sidelines of a meeting in the holy city of Karbala, noting that the Takfiri terrorists often make use of propaganda to capture new territory in Iraq.

    “I'd like to say that no one supports Daesh (ISIL) in the Sunni areas. It is obvious that the fighters who battle our troops are foreigners, and what proves is their language, which can be heard from distance,” the premier stated.

    Abadi cited the city of Ramadi, the capital of the western province of Anbar, as an example, saying, “The rumors and propaganda are behind what has occurred in Ramadi. These rumors are attempts to seize Ramadi.”

    He also said those who are not involved with ISIL militants’ crimes against the Iraqis “have an opportunity for repentance and abandoning Daesh.”

    Iraqi soldiers and police managed to clear the center of Ramadi from terrorists and push the Takfiris back from some areas of the city last week.

    ISIL launched an offensive in Iraq in June 2014 and took control of Mosul, the country’s second-largest city, before sweeping through parts of the country’s heartland.

    The extremist militants have been carrying out horrific acts of violence such as public decapitations and crucifixions against all ethnic and religious communities in areas under their control in Iraq and Syria.

    Iraq bombings

    On Monday, at least 20 people lost their lives in a spate of bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad.

    In the deadliest attack, a car bomb went off on a commercial street in Baghdad's western district of Mansour, claiming 10 lives while shortly afterwards three people died in another car bombing on a commercial street in Amil neighborhood.

    Earlier in the day, a separate car bomb attack in Baghdad's Bayaa district killed seven people. Dozens of others sustained injuries in the bombings.

    The attacks, mostly blamed on the ISIL, are mainly meant to undermine the Iraqi governments’ ongoing battle against the terrorists in north and west of the country.

    Iraqi soldiers, police units, Kurdish forces, Shia fighters and Sunni tribesmen have been engaged in joint operations to drive the terrorists out of the areas they have seized.

    U.S.: Defense bill recognizes Iraq’s Kurdish Peshmerga, Sunni militias as a ‘country’



    WASHINGTON,— Republican war-policy writers are demanding that the United States recognize Kurdish and Sunni militias as their own “country” amid growing concerns about Iran’s influence over Baghdad.

    The House Armed Services Committee on April 27 released an annual Defense bill that authorizes $715 million in aid to Iraqi forces fighting the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS). The bill, which is scheduled to be debated and voted on in committee on April 29, carves out at least 25% of that aid for the peshmerga, the Sunni tribal militias and a yet-to-be-established Iraqi Sunni National Guard.

    The bill “would require that the Kurdish peshmerga, the Sunni tribal security forces with a national security mission, and the Iraqi Sunni National Guard be deemed a country,” according to a bill summary. Doing so “would allow these security forces to directly receive assistance from the United States.”

    he Obama administration has expressed some degree of support for giving Iraqi minorities more autonomy, with Secretary of State John Kerry and the president himself applauding the idea of a National Guard. A senior administration official, however, told Al-Monitor that the Defense bill proposal goes too far.

    The draft bill from Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, goes on to require the State and Defense secretaries to certify that the central government in Baghdad is giving non-Shiite minorities a greater say in how the country is run. If progress on certain conditions isn’t apparent within three months of the bill’s passage — political inclusiveness, authorization the National Guard, ending support for Shiite militias — the remaining 75% of the aid would be withheld from Baghdad and at least 60% of it would go straight to the Kurds and Sunnis.

    Finally, this section would require that the Kurdish Peshmerga, the Sunni tribal security forces with a national security mission, and the Iraqi Sunni National Guard be deemed a country, which would allow these security forces to directly receive assistance from the United States under this section, should the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State not submit the assessment required by this section or submit an assessment that the Government of Iraq has not substantially met the conditions related to the requirements for assistance, as outlined in this section.

    An excerpt from the bill highlighting the “country” passage

    In addition, the bill would authorize $600 million for FY 2016 to train and equip vetted Syrian rebel groups to fight IS and another $300 million to help Jordan defend its borders with Iraq and Syria. The Senate Armed Services Committee under Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., is expected to release its bill sometime next month.

    While the bill doesn’t attempt to put new roadblocks in the Obama administration’s nuclear talks with Iran, the aid restrictions appear aimed in part at countering Tehran’s increasing influence throughout the region, which lawmakers fear will only grow if sanctions are lifted. A separate part of the Defense bill denounces Iran’s “malign military activities” and “grave threat to regional stability and the national security interests of the United States and its allies and partners.”

    “Iran continues to support Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, Shia militias in Iraq, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and other terrorist organizations and extremists globally,” the bill states.

    The Iraq aid provisions follow a lobbying blitz by both the Kurdistan Regional Government and Sunni tribes demanding more autonomy. They argue that conditions have improved since the departure of sectarian Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, but that direct US support remains vital.

    The Kurds in particular argue that the US weapons they need to combat IS are being held up in Baghdad. The chairman and top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee — Reps. Ed Royce, R-Calif., and Eliot Engel, D-N.Y. — have introduced legislation to authorize the Obama administration to arm the Kurds directly, which would violate current US law that requires the federal government to deal with Baghdad exclusively.
