Iraqi Resistance Groups Strike Logistical Convoys Headed For The United States’ by nurudeen181(m): 8:41am On Jul 12, 2021 |
Iraqi resistance groups strike logistical convoys headed for the United
States’ occupation forces in a number of locations throughout the
Arab country.
Reporting on Sunday, Iraqi news outlets said the attacks targeted the
convoys in the city of Babylon in central Iraq, and the cities of Basra
and al-Diwaniyah in the country’s south.
The first attack has so far not been claimed by any group or individual.
However, Saraya Awlia al-Dam, a subdivision of Iraq’s Popular
Mobilization Units (PMU) or Hashd al-Sha’abi umbrella anti-terror
force, has claimed the Basra strike.
It said it conducted the attack on the convoy as it was crossing a path
known as Jarishan, which is under the control of so-called foreign
security companies.
The attack is suspected to have been carried out using either anti-tank
guided missile (ATGM) or an explosive device, known as explosively
formed penetrator (EFP).
The attack in al-Diwaniya was claimed by another group, named as
Ashab al-Kahf (Companions of the Cave).
Either the convoys or the Iraqi bases hosting the US forces come under
regular attack across Iraq.
Iraq’s resistance groups have vowed not to lay down their arms or
cease their struggle until expulsion of all the American troops.
All forms of US-led military presence was ruled illegal by the Iraqi
parliament early last year after a US drone strike martyred senior
Iranian and Iraqi anti-terror commanders, Lieutenant General Qassem
Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the PMU’s former second-in-
command.
Both the commanders played an indispensable role in the defeat of the
foreign-backed Takfiri terrorist group of Daesh. The US has been using
Daesh as an excuse to prolong its presence in Iraq. |
