Iraq's army has shot down two British
planes as they were carrying weapons for the ISIL terrorists in Al-Anbar
province, a senior lawmaker disclosed on Monday.
"The
Iraqi Parliament's National Security and Defense Committee has access
to the photos of both planes that are British and have crashed while
they were carrying weapons for the ISIL," Head of the committee Hakem
al-Zameli said, according to a Monday report of the Arabic-language
information center of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
He said the Iraqi parliament has asked London for explanations in this regard.
The senior Iraqi legislator further unveiled that
the government in Baghdad is receiving daily reports from people and
security forces in al-Anbar province on numerous flights by the US-led
coalition planes that airdrop weapons and supplies for ISIL in
terrorist-held areas.
The Iraqi lawmaker further noted the cause of such
western aids to the terrorist group, and explained that the US prefers a
chaotic situation in Anbar Province which is near the cities of Karbala
and Baghdad as it does not want the ISIL crisis to come to an end.
Earlier today, a senior Iraqi provincial official
lashed out at the western countries and their regional allies for
supporting Takfiri terrorists in Iraq, revealing that US and
Israeli-made weapons have been discovered from the areas purged of ISIL
terrorists.
"We have discovered weapons made in the US,
European countries and Israel from the areas liberated from ISIL's
control in Al-Baqdadi region," the Al-Ahad news website quoted Head of
Al-Anbar Provincial Council Khalaf Tarmouz as saying.
He noted that the weapons made by the European
countries and Israel were discovered from the terrorists in the Eastern
parts of the city of Ramadi.
Al-Zameli had also disclosed in January that the
anti-ISIL coalition's planes have dropped weapons and foodstuff for the
ISIL in Salahuddin, Al-Anbar and Diyala provinces.
Al-Zameli underlined that the coalition is the main cause of ISIL's survival in Iraq.
"There are proofs and evidence for the US-led
coalition's military aid to ISIL terrorists through air(dropped
cargoes)," he told FNA in January.
He noted that the members of his committee have
already proved that the US planes have dropped advanced weaponry,
including anti-aircraft weapons, for the ISIL, and that it has set up an
investigation committee to probe into the matter.
"The US drops weapons for the ISIL on the excuse
of not knowing about the whereabouts of the ISIL positions and it is
trying to distort the reality with its allegations.
He noted that the committee had collected the data
and the evidence provided by eyewitnesses, including Iraqi army
officers and the popular forces, and said, "These documents are given to
the investigation committee ... and the necessary measures will be
taken to protect the Iraqi airspace."
Also in January, another senior Iraqi legislator
reiterated that the US-led coalition is the main cause of ISIL's
survival in Iraq.
"The international coalition is only an excuse for
protecting the ISIL and helping the terrorist group with equipment and
weapons," Jome Divan, who is member of the al-Sadr bloc in the Iraqi
parliament, said.
He said the coalition's support for the ISIL is
now evident to everyone, and continued, "The coalition has not targeted
ISIL's main positions in Iraq."
In late December, Iraqi Parliamentary Security and
Defense Commission MP disclosed that a US plane supplied the ISIL
terrorist organization with arms and ammunition in Salahuddin province.
MP Majid al-Gharawi stated that the available
information pointed out that US planes are supplying ISIL organization,
not only in Salahuddin province, but also other provinces, Iraq
TradeLink reported.
He added that the US and the international
coalition are "not serious in fighting against the ISIL organization,
because they have the technological power to determine the presence of
ISIL gunmen and destroy them in one month".
Gharawi added that "the US is trying to expand the
time of the war against the ISIL to get guarantees from the Iraqi
government to have its bases in Mosul and Anbar provinces."
Salahuddin security commission also disclosed that
"unknown planes threw arms and ammunition to the ISIL gunmen Southeast
of Tikrit city".
Also in Late December, a senior Iraqi lawmaker
raised doubts about the seriousness of the anti-ISIL coalition led by
the US, and said that the terrorist group still received aids dropped by
unidentified aircraft.
"The international coalition is not serious about
air strikes on ISIL terrorists and is even seeking to take out the
popular (voluntary) forces from the battlefield against the Takfiris so
that the problem with ISIL remains unsolved in the near future," Nahlah
al-Hababi told FNA.
"The ISIL terrorists are still receiving aids from unidentified fighter jets in Iraq and Syria," she added.
Hababi said that the coalition's precise
airstrikes are launched only in those areas where the Kurdish Pishmarga
forces are present, while military strikes in other regions are not so
much precise.
In late December, the US-led coalition dropped aids to the Takfiri militants in an area North of Baghdad.
Field sources in Iraq told al-Manar that the
international coalition airplanes dropped aids to the terrorist
militants in Balad, an area which lies in Salahuddin province North of
Baghdad.
In October, a high-ranking Iranian commander also
slammed the US for providing aid supplies to ISIL, adding that the US
claims that the weapons were mistakenly airdropped to ISIL were untrue.
“The US and the so-called anti-ISIL coalition
claim that they have launched a campaign against this terrorist and
criminal group - while supplying them with weapons, food and medicine in
Jalawla region (a town in Diyala Governorate, Iraq). This explicitly
displays the falsity of the coalition's and the US' claims,” Deputy
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud
Jazayeri said.
The US claimed that it had airdropped weapons and
medical aid to Kurdish fighters confronting the ISIL in Kobani, near the
Turkish border in Northern Syria.
The US Defense Department said that it had
airdropped 28 bundles of weapons and supplies, but one of them did not
make it into the hands of the Kurdish fighters.
Video footage later showed that some of the weapons that the US airdropped were taken by ISIL militants.
The Iranian commander insisted that the US had the
necessary intelligence about ISIL's deployment in the region and that
their claims to have mistakenly airdropped weapons to them are as
unlikely as they are untrue.
