TEHRAN – Hussein al-Ramahi, the head of the political commission of Hezbollah brigades in Iraq, disclosed that his forces have discovered Saudi supplied arms and ammunition in areas taken back from ISIL control, adding that the arms aids have been dropped down for the Takfiri terrorists by unidentified planes.
“The Iraqi security and popular forces have discovered Saudi-supplied weapons in regions liberated from ISIL control,” Ramahi told FNA on Saturday.
He reiterated that unknown airplanes had supplied the ISIL with the weapons in coordination with the US.
“We have discovered boxes containing weapons and equipment with Saudi names and labels on them …,” he added.
Earlier this week, a senior Iraqi legislator lashed out at the western countries and their regional allies for supporting Takfiri terrorists in Iraq, complaining that the 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 groups 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.”
