Peshmarga ready to move towards Anbar desert
The Iraqi forces of the army and police have started a military campaign with the participation of a wide heavy machinery and military aircraft in the desert of Anbar province, adjacent to the Syrian border to hunt down al-Qaeda .
The campaign has been launched a few days ago when a prominent officer was killed by militant groups in the Iraqi army and a number of soldiers.
“Peshmarga forces are ready to participate in military operations carried out by Iraqi forces in Anbar desert, if requested by the federal government,” The Secretary General of the Ministry of Peshmarga in Kurdistan region, lieutenant general Jabbar Yawar told “Shafaq News”.
The Ministry of Peshmerga has offered on Baghdad last August to deploy its forces in the hot areas of the country, especially the capital within an initiative to restore missing stability in Iraq .
The initiative came after a dramatic escalation of violence in Iraq, that shows the big failure of Iraqi forces to maintain security .
Yawar said that his ministry did not have any orders or any agreements or any request from any party to move on any specific unit of Peshmarga forces from any area of Kurdistan region to any other araea.
On the existence of the reports refer to the escape of a number of al-Qaeda militants from Anbar desert towards Hamrin mountain adjacent to Kurdistan , Yawer said that Hamrin area is considered a haven for those groups since several years.
Yawar stressed that Peshmerga forces are now ready to " deter " any "terrorist" force want to inter to Kurdistan to carry out "terrorist" acts.
Iraq had relied on Peshmerga forces in Baghdad and other forces during the sectarian tensions a few years ago , as the Kurdish forces has received the population’s praise for its " Neutrality " and " professionalism ."
The analysis say that the process of breaking into Abu Ghraib prison a period ago revealed that the Iraqi forces trained and armed by Washington thatpaid almost $ 25 billion and tarined more than one million security component are "unable” to confront its enemies .
The coordinated attack waves that killed dozens of civilians have become part of the daily routine in Iraq in recent months.
The main defendant in most of these attacks is the local wing of al -Qaeda , which merged this year with Syrian wing and formed the " Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (al-Sham)" , known as " Daash ."
