On April 12, the Iraqi military and the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) concluded their security operation in the western al-Anbar desert.
The operation, dubbed “Victory Heroes 2,” was launched on April 9. Four Brigades of the PMU and four others from the Iraqi military led the operation that covered a large strip of Iraq’s border with Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

In the course of the operation, government forces combed 17,000 km2, including two key valleys. 35 villages were also cleared.
According to the PMU’s media center, two terrorists were captured, while 14 suspects surrendered. Two vehicles, four motorcycles, nine assault rifles were seized. Furthermore, a hideout was destroyed.
“Operation Victory Heroes 2 was concluded with the inspection of the Jordanian-Saudi border strip and compromised areas, from which terrorist operations were being launched against residents and security forces,” Qasim Musleh, commander of the PMU’s al-Anbar Operations, said.
The western al-Anbar desert is known to be a stronghold of ISIS remnants. From there, the group launched an attack on a military positions near Rutba earlier this week, killing and injuring five Iraqi service members.
The operation will likely aloow to limit ISIS cells’ activities in the region for some time. However, more efforts will be needed to put an end the terrorist group’s presence there.
Nice to see troops can come home again. Its impossible to cover all.
Presence of Americans signifies presence of ISIS! ISIS is their foot soldiers! Kick out the Americans and ISIS will follow.
None in the whole world believe that anymore.
You only write it because You are forced to it by Your Regime as forced recruitment.
Jen’s as you know I am your number 1 fan please start listening to your fan base you are on the wrong side of history see the light and we will make you king of the whole of scandinavia
The engagemnt by USA for ISIS was hard but short. Saudis continued until USA stoppet thet too. Sausis gave ISIS adwanced weapons such as TOWS.
Taking up and mislead things makes it impossible to make time for the parts, which are not USA.
The same for Iraq. Nato was invited back to there by the Bagdad Goverment.
TThe same for Basra oil and the contracors and the hip hip for ISIS attacking them – But the owners are the Iraqi state and fx Sóuth Korea and not the ones, which are given the contract by them.
The solution should be making them find other vontractors. Furthermore it would make sense less money dissapeared in corruption.
After decades, they stil not even have good water in Basra. USA has not done that. If USA had the job, there was driking water.
So Yes, I see the wrong side of the history.
True I show my country a little too much, but I see so many here dont know us and we do, thik and feel. So many times I am told I lie about my country and its a fairy tale and I lie about it.
Vital things for the parlamentarisme and democrasy cant be understood in the Islamic world by the arabic, Farsi and partly Turkish languages. There is not even a language for it.
If I turned that around and only could see Islam has 3 legs even it has 5, some might understand how it is.
Ypu cant have parlaments because they are about parle and debeate free – or almost free. Our parties are not etnic as well and relegion only matters for very few.
In the sekular world its about konservatisme, liberalisme, neoliberalisme socialisme and som few communists. What matters here ofte is about income and who controlles what or should control this and that.
Our Goverment has 25% of the voters and about 57% of supporters by other parties. Even so we are not collpsed but so relative fine compared to others.
How comes: Well we make consesus which says we compromise and accept what the majority decides as long as its inside the constitution – BUT – we also can make changes at the next election, but often 60 or 90 % has voted for things, so it remains and only commas are changed.
If I comapre with Turkey it terrible to see the big AKP could not continue with Gülens as well as later on Kemals, because AKP “only” had 50% incl. soem cheating.
But we can do better with 25%. For the Kemalist I dont see they will turn Turkey upside down if they got votes for it. Even the intensions are wrong. Turkey and others need consensus. Thats Governess.
Erdogans are not. thats majority rule, where the dictator can do anything to the 49% even the court system still resist.
So yes, I do see a lot of dark.
Probably you are an American or a western US puppet as usual trying to convince the world that ISIS is also their anemy! Facts cannot be covered by lies anymore by the western main stream media propaganda!
YES, YES, YES.
Jews also invented Islam and to be even more safe the Muhammed Economics:)
That exist only in your tiny brain!

PMU terrorists probably killed some Iraqi Sunnis and claimed they were ISIS members.
Israeli terrorists probably killed some Americans and claimed they were Saudi members.
We don’t kill Americans, we kill Arab terrorists like pros.
Sept 11th proves that the isreali regime kills american’s. With impunity it seems. The USS Liberty also proves that the regime kills american’s.The 1983 bombing of a US barracks in Beruit also proves that the isreali regime kills american’s.
Need i go on?
1. USS liberty was identified as an Egyptian ship during the war. 2. Hezbollah bombed the U.S barracks. Try trolling harder :)
What a liar. Typical Israeli murderous scum.
You’re Karen or Fatima? go wear Burka.
I’m Christian. I despise cowardly Israeli IOF, who persecute and kill Muslims, Christians and even non-Zionist Jews in Israel.
The isreali regime killed over 200 US servicemen in the 1983 barracks bombing and blamed it on Hezbollah. They attacked the USS Liberty and assisted US zionists to kill thousands of american’s on Sept 11th.
It seems killing american’s is now a zionist habit.
great work PMU and iraqi military defend your country from ALL threats!!!!
