The Hezbollah Islamic Resistance Movement has accused the United States of advancing the course of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

In a statement by the Islamic Resistance Movement Hezbollah Al-Nojabaa made available to News Express by email, the group described what happened in al-Baghdadi district of Al-Anbar province as a new evidence of the “continuation for systematic and serial barbaric sabotage of US forces which existed on the bordering areas between Iraq and Syria.”

The statement, which was signed by the group’s Secretary General, Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi also alleged: “They keep targeting our Iraqi forces from time to time to facilitate the movements of ISIS fighters, while we didn’t see their efforts to help Iraq and its people.”

It added: “We just saw their presence as a source of destruction and sabotage and a support for terrorism and the enemies of Iraq, and these imperialist forces will not stop unless they are expelled completely from Iraq and stopped from stealing and draining our country’s economic capabilities, military, security and even politics.”

It stressed that the existence of the US forces in Iraq after its liberation from terrorism, “is unjustified legally, legitimately and nationally, and we will consider them an occupying force if they didn’t leave.”

The group further expressed the hope that the Iraqi national political forces will take a position and a quick decision to end the US presence in Iraq.
