Iraqi Army Discovers US-Made Missiles in Daesh Base in Mosul
Tasnim News Agency ^ | 10/02/2017

Iraqi army and popular forces have discovered a number of US-made missiles from a military position of Daesh (ISIL) in the Southern part of Mosul, informed local sources disclosed after the first group of pro-government troops opened their way into Southern Mosul on Monday.

“Several US-made missiles were found in al-Shoura region to the South of Mosul,” a local source said on Monday, Global Research reported.

The Iraqi army and popular forces had previously found US-made missiles in Anbar province.

Provincial officials confirmed that the US-made weapons were sent by the so-called US-led coalition for the ISIL terrorists in Anbar province.

Meantime, Iraqi security officials announced that the terror group has sent US-made military equipment to Tal Afar region in the last two days to stand strong against Iraqi popular forces’ impending attack to capture the region.

“The ISIL terrorists have sent US-made TOW anti-tank missiles to Tal Afar and it is quite evident that they are preparing for a long-term war,” local sources quoted an Iraqi security official as saying on Monday.

In late August 2015, a senior Iraqi intelligence official revealed that the US helicopters drop weapons and other aids for the Daesh terrorists in the Western province of al-Anbar.

Yet, he said the helicopters could have also been sent from Turkey or Israel.

He added that in addition to dropping aids, the helicopters transfer the ISIL ringleaders and wounded members from the battleground to some hospitals in Syria or other countries which support the terrorist group.

The official cautioned that such assistance further prolongs the conflicts in Anbar, adding that when the Iraqi army and popular forces purge the terrorists from Anbar province, the US helicopters will transfer the ISIL ringleaders to other regions to prevent the Iraqi forces’ access to ISIL secrets.

Meantime in February 2015, a senior lawmaker disclosed that Iraq’s army had shot down two British planes as they were carrying weapons for the ISIL terrorists in al-Anbar province.

How about al Qaeda in Syria?

We’re arming and funding them.

Lest we forget

The insurgent fighters who routed the Iraqi army out of Mosul on Tuesday did not just capture much of Iraq’s second-largest city. They also gained a windfall of arms, munitions and equipment abandoned by the soldiers as they fled — arms that were supplied by the United States and intended to give the troops an edge over the insurgents.

Turkey on behalf of Qatar.

Is every American with an AK-47 being armed and supplied by Russia?

Tasnim is the Iranian news agency. It’s pretty much a gimme that ISIS would have American weaponry. They captured the (American) equipment for 2 Iraqi divisions when they overran Mosul in 2014. Anti-tank missiles were the tip of the tip of the iceberg - among the equipment seized were Abrams tanks and howitzers.

Of course they were US made. Obama-Clinton-McCain helped create and resourced ISIS. Part of the Benghazi trail.

One of the most evil actions ever taken by the US.

Obama — HilLIARy via Libya — and more recently via Lebanon to hezballah and Isis. And directly to PLO- Abbas! Usa weapons for the worst Muslim terrorist murder gangs on earth. Plus USA protecting and helping $$ Oren’s nuclear icbm attack arsenal.

Note that ISIS did not just capture Mosul. They overran a good chunk of Iraq and probably obtained a good chunk of other equipment from Iraqi troops who ran for their lives.

Agree; Funded by Qatar, originally sent to Libya (see Amb. Stevens) to defeat Qaddafi, recaptured or bought and sent to ISIS through Turkey .....

I wouldn’t call an Iranian news agency retailing lies about American complicity with ISIS treasonous. They are batting for the home team - Iran.

Should be easy to track with those numbers.

I wonder if it’s part of Hillary’s stash that was taken in Benghazi.
