Anbar to watch borders with Syria: Source
Iraq has deployed around 20,000 troops in Qaim city, west of Anbar, to prevent
infiltration of ISIS members and watch common borders with Syria, a military
source said.
�Over the past three days, insurgents began to approach near the Iraqi borders
to flee the killing by the Syrian Democratic Forces,� the source said.
�Iraqi troops have orders to immediately open fire against whoever approaches
the borders.�
The source went on saying that the deployed personnel did not leave their
military sites for three days fearing infiltration of militants from Syria.
Last month, news reports mentioned that Iraq and Syria held talks on reopening
l-Hasiba border crossing, which links al-Boukamal in Syria's Deir ez-Zor
province with al-Qaim in Iraq's Anbar. It was used as a strategic crossing for
ISIS militants through the conflict.
ISIS are still targeted by Iraqi forces on both sides of the border in
coordination with Syria, where the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by the
support of the US-led Coalition, have pushed the extremists in a small pocket,
east of Euphrates.

should not leave Iraq, Isis has lost in Syria and is heading back into Iraq,

Kuwaiti Dinar Change in Value Testimonial
Feb 23 19 pm TWWlll:... "I was learning trading currencies in the 70's...I was
working in Riyadh in 1989 for a developer, & Amed, my boss, was telling me of a
'rumor' that Kuwait was planning to 'adjust' their currency... Remember, Iraq
was attaching Kuwait's oil wells... Well with the help of USA & international
assistance, adjustments were about to take place... I never heard the RV by
name, just an 'adjustment'... Their currency at that time was .05... While there
I bought quite a bit of their currency, quite a bit in Riyadh... I was back in
Honolulu around March when my currency broker from the past, called me at home
and mentioned that Kuwait's currency adjusted to a higher value, 3.47usd... I
call my bank, Bank of Hawaii and they confirmed... So I went with my bills and
cashed them in... I had to show my passport with the date when I was in Egypt...
There is more to the story but this should give u enough to share at this
point... It did happen no matter what the so called gurus are telling you."
To be more, it was my former boss in SA that called abt their
RI/adjustment then I went thru his broker.
It went from 0.05 to 3.47usd
kip Yes and I figured 20 nickels x's $1000 = 20000 nickels x's 3.42 =
$68400. Just wondered if I figured correctly.

Security In Iraq Jan 15-21, 2018 Iraq was relatively quiet during the third week
of January 2018. There were few incidents and few casualties. The Islamic State
has been operating at a very low level since the winter.
http://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2019/01/security-in-iraq-jan-15-21-2018.html
The Islamic State has largely pulled out of Anbar and Baghdad
resulting in few attacks there. In the former there was only one incident by the
insurgents when a car bomb was discovered and dismantled in Fallujah. The other
incident was caused when someone threw a grenade at the house of a family
associated with IS in the Hit district and left two people wounded. These types
of revenge attacks are quite common throughout central and northern Iraq as the
militants left a deep wound in Iraqi society. People linked with IS have been
banned from certain areas, detained and assaulted as a result.
Central Iraq remains the area where the insurgency is most
active.
The rural districts of these provinces are where IS has been rebuilding for the
last year or more. There is little government presence there allowing the
militants room to regroup and carry out operations. They have gone after local
officials and the security forces to assert their control, and taxed villages to
raise money.
The adoption of the budget by the House of Representatives an
important achievement towards economic recovery. The launch of allocations and
ensuring the fairness of distribution and transparency in the context of the
reform process will meet the maturity of the reconstruction and decent life for
citizens. We hope to complete the ministerial reshuffle so that the government
can start to implement its promising program 1:11 AM - 24 Jan 2019
