He reiterated that the US has provided the ISIL with intelligence about the Iraqi forces' positions and targets.
"ISIL commanders trusted the US officials who had
assured them that the Iraqi forces would not attack Fallujah because the
US had urged the Iraqi government to prevent the popular forces from
entering Fallujah and raid Beiji instead; hence the terrorists left
Fallujah for Beiji to stay on the alert in there," Al-Hosseini added.
