Baghdad Al-Fateh Alliance condemned the targeting of the Popular Mobilization Forces, stressing the absurdity of the presence of US forces and their danger to the security and stability of Iraq.

The Alliance said in a statement, “It is with more sadness and sorrow that today we bid farewell to a new group of our zealous sons in the popular mobilization forces stationed on the border (Al-Qaim area) in defense of the sanctities and defending the dignity, pride and sovereignty of Iraq as a result of a treacherous raid carried out by the occupying American forces, indicating that with this cowardly operation, the American forces prove once again their aggression against the Iraqi people and their sons in the zealous popular mobilization forces, and without any right, and it indicates the American anger over the successful parade held by the popular mobilization and in the presence of the commander in chief of the armed forces in recent days.

Al-Fateh affirmed that this incident clearly demonstrates the absurdity of the presence of the US forces and their danger to the security and stability of Iraq, and they want Iraq to remain in turmoil and a battleground for conflicts, so the government must abide by its program that was voted on in Parliament as a condition of granting confidence to the government and that foreign forces, especially the American immediately withdraw and without procrastination. It has been more than a year since forming the government and it has fallen into place on this issue, and continuing dialogue sessions without results is absurd, and we consider it procrastination and a waste of time.

The Alliance demanded the Commander-in-Chief to open an investigation into this treacherous targeting. And the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should condemn this aggression.
