Major Terrorist Group Declares War on ISIL in Iraq

(FNA)- A group of terrorists calling themselves Ahl al-Sunna va Jama'at declared Jihad (war) against the ISIL in Iraq.

Mohammad al-Ba'aj, a member of Al-Ahrar Movement, described Ahl al-Sunna va Jama'at as a major militant group in Mosul that is affiliated to the Mujahideen Council, adding that the terrorist group has detached from the ISIL and declared war against it.

Ahl al-Sunna va Jama'at is comprised of Ba'athist army officers and security forces of executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

On Friday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi announced that the Iraqi army had managed to recapture many territories from the ISIL terrorists and would intensify efforts to expel them from the town of Baiji which is considered the ISIL Takfiri militants’ last fortress.

The ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently control shrinking swathes of Syria and Iraq. They have threatened all communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds and others, as they continue their atrocities in Iraq.

Senior Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in their country.

The ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.
