US Air Force Providing Air Transit for ISIL Leaders in Iraq
TEHRAN (FNA)- A US chopper landed in areas under the control of the ISIL terrorist group in Western Iraq and flew away to an unknown destination with several ISIL commanders on board minutes later, Iraqi intelligence sources disclosed on Monday.
An American helicopter landed in mountainous Hamrin region in Salahuddin province, an Iraqi intelligence source declared on Monday.
"A US chopper was seen in al-Riyadh region near Hamrin mountain," the Arabic-language al-Malouma news website quoted the source as saying.
The source noted that the US helicopter landed in the region to transfer several ISIL leaders to an unknown destination. "This is not the first time that a US chopper lands in Hamrin mountainous region," he said.
Meantime, several eyewitnesses also confirmed the flights of US helicopters over the ISIL-controlled areas of Havija located to the Southwest of Kirkuk in order to take the Takfiri terrorist commanders out of the region.
Witnesses say US aircraft have been flying over militant-ruled regions very frequently in the last one year, and their missions have been anything, but war and air raid.
On February 28, a group of Iraqi popular forces known as Al-Hashad Al-Shabi shot down a US Army helicopter that was carrying weapons to the ISIL in the Western parts of Al-Baghdadi region in Al-Anbar province.
To prove their claim, the Hashad Al-Shabi forces released the photos of the shot down chopper through the Internet.
Last February, Head of the Iraqi Parliament's National Security and Defense Committee Hakem al-Zameli announced that the helicopters of the US-led anti-ISIL coalition had been dropping weapons and foodstuff for the ISIL terrorists in the Southern parts of Tikrit.
He underscored that he had documents and photos showing that the US Apache helicopters airdropped foodstuff and weapons for the ISIL.
Also in late February, al-Zameli disclosed that Iraq's army had shot down two British planes as they were carrying weapons for the ISIL terrorists in Al-Anbar province.
"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," al-Zameli said, according to a report of the Arabic-language information center of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
