Iraqi Hezbollah denies shelling US bases in Iraq, Syria
The head of the security office of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades affirms that the Resistance and its allies are able to expel the Turkish forces from Iraq.
Abu Ali Al-Askari, the head of the security office of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades, confirmed Sunday that the Brigades did not exchange fire with the Americans last week in Iraq or Syria.
Al-Askari pointed out that rumors about a recent exchange of fire between the brigades and the Americans are no more than a justification for some sides' failure to protect their occupying forces, in reference to the US occupation.
He considered that some sides accused the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades of the recent bombing to create justifications, adding that if these sides dare and bomb somewhere, disaster will befall them.
The Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades official stressed the need to expel the Turkish forces in two phases; the first from the advanced bases and the second by clearing the border areas of their mercenaries.
Abu Ali Al-Askari stressed that the Resistance and its allies are able to expel the Turkish forces of aggression from Iraq.
