Deputy Chairman of the PMU, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, said that “The Iraqis demonstrated their ability to fight and liberate without resorting to foreigners.” He added that “all the clashes fought by the PMU troops were without the help of foreigners”. He also said “the PMU is currently preparing for a post-ISIS phase.” He empasized that the PMU “don’t want to expel the criminal ISIS organization, but rather destroy it and prevent it from becoming another organization, just as Al-Qaeda turned into ISIS”.
Another setback for Jew NATO.
