Shafaq News / The Iraqi Parliament’s Security and Defense Committee issued a warning on Sunday, of an "international plan" to re-organize Islamic State (ISIS) into the country, following the escape of a number of ISIS elements from "Al-Hol" prison in Syria.

The official Syrian "SANA" news agency reported earlier today that a number of ISIS elements have escaped from Al-Hol prison in Hasaka countryside, which is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

"The escape of ISIS terrorists from the Syrian prison comes within a plan to regroup this organization in Iraq and even in Syria," noting that " this plan involves many international parties, led by the United States of America,”Committee member , Karim Aliwi told Shafaq News Agency.

Aliwi called on all Iraqi military units to "tighten the necessary procedures on the borders with Syria to prevent the infiltration of escapees into Iraqi territory, as this is the goal of their escape," stressing " the need for air control on the borders to target any element trying to come close to the Iraqi border."

It is noteworthy that the Iraqi armed forces have launched, on Sunday morning, a military operation in the desert of three governorates, reaching the border with Syria to chase ISIS elements, and named the operation as "Lions of the Al-Jazzera."

ISIS imposed its control on two-thirds of Iraq in mid-2014, after which the Iraqi forces, Peshmerga, and Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), backed by the international coalition led by the United States of America, began operations after 3 years of fighting to defeat the organization militarily.

A 1996 Washington Post article says: “The Americans have tried for several years to forge a credible alternative to Qaddafi. Haftar, as a prominent army officer younger than the Libyan leader, has long been an attractive option, according to Libyan circles in London.”

When Qaddafi’s ally Idriss Déby assumed power in Chad in 1990, Haftar had to be evacuated by the CIA or else risk being handed over to Qaddafi. He was reportedly flown to Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and then to the United States.

Q: Is the objective of your Benghazi offensive to force those in power to hand over the country to a certain party, or simply to root out the terrorists that have taken hold there?

The security problem is a major issue that has shaken our country in a frightening manner after the GNC allowed all the terrorist forces across the world to come to Libya and coexist with the Libyan people. We know that these terrorists can never coexist with the people of Libya. The Muslim Brotherhood is leading this move. They are being granted Libyan passports and are coming to our country from abroad. There is now a large group of Brothers here, and that is why our neighbors are raising questions about this situation—particularly Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia. These groups, unfortunately, represent a great threat.

When terrorist operations began to take place in Egypt, and the Egyptian authorities announced that the Muslim Brotherhood were leading these [terrorist] groups, this opened the eyes of many Libyans to the true nature of the Brotherhood. These groups then surprised the Libyans, who became well-acquainted with the nature of their crimes and that is how this became an ongoing conflict. Therefore we said that we must confront these terrorist groups that are devastating Libya day and night. At the same time, we have two brotherly neighbors, Egypt and Algeria, that have complained above the movement of arms and criminals [through our territory].
