Iraqi PM: Terrorism uses international network to bring terrorists to Syria and Iraq

Baghdad, SANA – Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said that terrorism employs an international network that brings terrorists to Syria and then to Iraq from neighboring countries.

In a press conference with French President Francois Hollande on Friday, al-Abadi said the situation in Syria led to the deterioration of Iraq’s security, adding that the international community is responsible for putting an end to this crisis.

He pointed out that terrorist organizations have tremendous funding from regional and international countries and from the smuggling of Iraqi petroleum, adding that unfortunately some of Iraq’s neighboring countries are involved in shedding Iraqi blood through funding the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

For his part, Hollande confessed that there are terrorists who came from across the world and are stationed in Iraq and Syria, adding that such a global threat requires a global mobilization to neutralize it.
