Iraq- Experts: The Iraqi government cannot control armed factions operating outside the law

Baghdad – Iraq 12/03/2020

Security experts explained that the targeting of Camp Taji in northern Iraq with Katyusha rockets and the killing of three members of the international coalition forces last night is an evidence of a wave of escalation and tension between Iraq and the United States of America, especially since the latter prepared these attacks in violation of its security and sovereignty, adding that until now the Iraqi government has not been able to directly control many armed factions that are still operating outside Iraqi law, and they pointed out that targeting Camp Taji is a pressure sheet for the implementation of the decision to evacuate U.S. forces from Iraqi territory, which is also an embarrassment to the Iraqi government, which cannot have a high level of negotiation before the Government of the United States of America.
