Shi’ite militia’s victories worry US and Kurds
Iranian-backed force ready to cross into Syria
IRAQI Shi’ite militia fighters pushed south along the Syrian border against Isis yesterday, causing the United States and Iraqi Kurds to voice alarm at the Iranian-backed force’s advance.
The Popular Mobilisation Units (PMU) said they had surrounded the Isis-occupied border village of Jayar Ghalfas and were ready to storm it.
Further east, they liberated the village of al-Khibrah as part of their efforts to drive the terrorist death cult from the region.
