Pakistan helped Iraq in defeating IS, says Iraqi envoy

What Civil war you utter moron? ISIS is a death cult that randomly kills civilians and it is the duty of every state to brutally wipe such death cults from its lands.

what you say is true ?
without Sunni support ISIS cannot capture large swaths of territory
We won't talk about the role of Sunni states like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey

If there was so much support for ISIS then defeating them would've been almost impossible...

"A year into the Syrian rebellion, the US and its allies weren’t only supporting and arming an opposition they knew to be dominated by extreme sectarian groups; they were prepared to countenance the creation of some sort of “Islamic state” – despite the “grave danger” to Iraq’s unity – as a Sunni buffer to weaken Syria."

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan quietly helped Iraq in its fight against the militant Islamic State (IS) group, which reached a major milestone this week with the liberation of Mosul from the terrorist group’s controlafter three years of occupation.

Pakistan was among a number of countries that supported Iraq in fighting the IS, also known by its Arabic acronym Daesh, said Ambassador of Iraq Ali Yasin Muhammad Karim at a press conference at the embassy. The presser was held to brief Pakistani media about the eviction of the IS from Mosul.

Pakistan’s contribution to the fight against the IS in Iraq has never been mentioned earlier either by Pakistani officials or Iraqis.

Ancient Assyrian town Mosul, which is Iraq’s second largest city and was used by the IS during years of occupation as the seat of its proclaimed caliphate, was freed after a gruelling nine-month-long military campaign by Iraqi security forces that was backed by several countries.

Talking about Pakistan’s help, the ambassador said Iraq, besides getting intelligence on terrorists, also received arms and ammunition and military medical assistance from the country. He recalled some of the Iraqi pilots, who took part in action against the IS, had been trained in Pakistan.

Burn haters burn
 
Wow Incredible! General RS had defeated TTP in Pakistan while General Bajwa has defeated IS in Iraq. No doubt ISI is the best intelligence agency in the world.
 
When we are providing intel to Iraq on their anti terrorist ops, goes to show how long is our reach and arms are.

Russians are bluntly pointing fingers at Americans as main sponsors of ISIS. So what we are doing is uprooting American/Zionist project right from it source. Hence why Modi was running to Isreal.

Pakistan must get involved in ME, militarily, so we can uproot dangers to our homeland right in the source and also keep screwing those nations who are involved in 4th generation warfare against Pakistan.

Should now remove the dildo stuck up your ***.

We did not start the civil war in East Pakistan or Sri Lanka

No just supported terrorist groups that did...

Thank you Pakistan
It's one of the countries who doesn't care about religion or the sect of other countries that they help
meanwhile America which routinely provides support to Daesh in Syria and Iraq
is preparing to sanction Pakistan and continuously blames it for the failures in Afghanistan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan quietly helped Iraq in its fight against the militant Islamic State (IS) group, which reached a major milestone this week with the liberation of Mosul from the terrorist group’s control after three years of occupation.

Pakistan was among a number of countries that supported Iraq in fighting the IS, also known by its Arabic acronym Daesh, said Ambassador of Iraq Ali Yasin Muhammad Karim at a press conference at the embassy. The presser was held to brief Pakistani media about the eviction of the IS from Mosul.

Pakistan’s contribution to the fight against the IS in Iraq has never been mentioned earlier either by Pakistani officials or Iraqis.

Ancient Assyrian town Mosul, which is Iraq’s second largest city and was used by the IS during years of occupation as the seat of its proclaimed caliphate, was freed after a gruelling nine-month-long military campaign by Iraqi security forces that was backed by several countries.

Talking about Pakistan’s help, the ambassador said Iraq, besides getting intelligence on terrorists, also received arms and ammunition and military medical assistance from the country. He recalled some of the Iraqi pilots, who took part in action against the IS, had been trained in Pakistan.

The ambassador said the continuing intelligence cooperation between Iraq and Pakistan could help the latter deal with the expanding footprint of the IS in the region.

Underscoring the IS threat, he said, the outfit was the most dangerous terrorist group and likened its threat to “time bombs” and “booby traps”.

“We share the same enemy,” Mr Karim said.

While responding to a question, the envoy played down involvement of Pakistanis with IS activities in Iraq, saying that “the bad guys” represented a very small proportion of the population of Pakistan. People of over 100 nationalities, he added, were part of IS ranks.

The people of Pakistan were generally very supportive of Iraq in its war against the IS, he remarked.

He praised Pakistan’s policy of neutrality towards the Middle East.

After Mosul, Ambassador Karim said, Iraq was about to make a final push against the IS from its territory.

Mosul’s liberation has, however, come at a huge cost.

The city after remaining under the IS occupation for three years during the fight for its liberation is in complete ruins and almost a million of its population has been displaced. The same is the case with other areas that Iraq has succeeded in liberating from the IS. Reports from Mosul warn of an emerging humanitarian crisis.

The Iraqi ambassador called for support for reconstruction and restoration of services in the cities devastated by the war.

“We need help for rebuilding infrastructure, which is the next important task,” he said.

where does America fit in here?
it providesd air support to Daesh whenever it is at the brink of a defeat in Syria
it bombs Syrian forces on one side and also air drops ammunition to Daesh and then in Iraq it sometimes targets Daesh?
very confusing.
