RNA - The Arabic-language al-Ma’aloumeh news website quoted Head of Muslim Ulemmas Union in Diyala Province Jabar al-Mamouri as saying that the ISIL terrorists have recently infiltrated Diyala province with the help of the US Army troops.

He noted that the ISIL terrorists have penetrated into some parts of Diyala province from the neighboring Salahuddin province with the US Army troops.

Al-Mamouri also said that the US is not seeking destruction of the ISIL because Washington wants to make use of the terrorist group to achieve its goals in destabilizing Iraq.

In a relevant development in late August, a political official said that the Israeli drones have provided huge support for terrorists to penetrate into Diyala from Salahuddin province.

“The ISIL has resumed its terrorist activities between Diyala and Salahuddin provinces while enjoying massive foreign support, including from Israel,” Head of Diyala Security Council Committee Sadeq al-Hosseini told al-Ma’aloumeh.

He reiterated that Israel’s spy drones have provided the ISIL with intel, and said that Israel is investing in terrorist organizations in line with its goals, including making Iraq destabilized.

Meantime, a member of Diyala Provincial Council Ahmad Arzouqi pointed to ISIL’s penetration into some parts of Diyala province, and said that some foreign countries are seeking to keep the ISIL in Iraq.
