Last week, Head of the Iraqi Parliament's National Security and Defense
Committee Hakem al-Zameli announced that the helicopters of the US-led
anti-ISIL coalition were dropping weapons and foodstuff for the ISIL
terrorists in the Southern parts of Tikrit.

He underscored that he had documents and photos showing that the US Apache
helicopters airdropped foodstuff and weapons for the ISIL.

On Friday the Iraqi security forces regained control of al-Baghdadi district
from the ISIL terrorists.

"Iraqi security forces seized control of al-Shohadaa neighborhood and 13
Daesh (ISIL) militants were killed in the clashes," Lt. Saoud al-Ibeidi
said.

Iraqi forces on February 18 managed to end ISIL's 10-day siege of
al-Baghdadi district's residential area and killed about 150 terrorists,
according to police sources.

Last Monday, a senior lawmaker disclosed that Iraq's army had shot down two
British planes as they were carrying weapons for the ISIL terrorists in
Al-Anbar province.

"The Iraqi Parliament's National Security and Defense Committee has access
to the photos of both planes that are British and have crashed while they
were carrying weapons for the ISIL," al-Zameli said, according to a Monday
report of the Arabic-language information center of the Islamic Supreme
Council of Iraq.

He said the Iraqi parliament has asked London for explanations in this
regard.

The senior Iraqi legislator further unveiled that the government in Baghdad
is receiving daily reports from people and security forces in al-Anbar
province on numerous flights by the US-led coalition planes that airdrop
weapons and supplies for ISIL in terrorist-held areas.

The Iraqi lawmaker further noted the cause of such western aids to the
terrorist group, and explained that the US prefers a chaotic situation in
Anbar Province which is near the cities of Karbala and Baghdad as it does
not want the ISIL crisis to come to an end.

Earlier today, a senior Iraqi provincial official lashed out at the western
countries and their regional allies for supporting Takfiri terrorists in
Iraq, revealing that US and Israeli-made weapons have been discovered from
the areas purged of ISIL terrorists.

"We have discovered weapons made in the US, European countries and Israel
from the areas liberated from ISIL's control in Al-Baqdadi region," the
Al-Ahad news website quoted Head of Al-Anbar Provincial Council Khalaf
Tarmouz as saying.

He noted that the weapons made by the European countries and Israel were
discovered from the terrorists in the Eastern parts of the city of Ramadi.

Al-Zameli had also disclosed in January that the anti-ISIL coalition's
planes have dropped weapons and foodstuff for the ISIL in Salahuddin,
Al-Anbar and Diyala provinces.

Al-Zameli underlined that the coalition is the main cause of ISIL's survival
in Iraq.

"There are proofs and evidence for the US-led coalition's military aid to
ISIL terrorists through air(dropped cargoes)," he told FNA in January.

He noted that the members of his committee have already proved that the US
planes have dropped advanced weaponry, including anti-aircraft weapons, for
the ISIL, and that it has set up an investigation committee to probe into
the matter.

"The US drops weapons for the ISIL on the excuse of not knowing about the
whereabouts of the ISIL positions and it is trying to distort the reality
with its allegations.

He noted that the committee had collected the data and the evidence provided
by eyewitnesses, including Iraqi army officers and the popular forces, and
said, "These documents are given to the investigation committee . and the
necessary measures will be taken to protect the Iraqi airspace."

Also in January, another senior Iraqi legislator reiterated that the US-led
coalition is the main cause of ISIL's survival in Iraq.

"The international coalition is only an excuse for protecting the ISIL and
helping the terrorist group with equipment and weapons," Jome Divan, who is
member of the al-Sadr bloc in the Iraqi parliament, said.

He said the coalition's support for the ISIL is now evident to everyone, and
continued, "The coalition has not targeted ISIL's main positions in Iraq."

In late December, Iraqi Parliamentary Security and Defense Commission MP
disclosed that a US plane supplied the ISIL terrorist organization with arms
and ammunition in Salahuddin province.

MP Majid al-Gharawi stated that the available information pointed out that
US planes are supplying ISIL organization, not only in Salahuddin province,
but also other provinces, Iraq TradeLink reported.

He added that the US and the international coalition are "not serious in
fighting against the ISIL organization, because they have the technological
power to determine the presence of ISIL gunmen and destroy them in one
month".

Gharawi added that "the US is trying to expand the time of the war against
the ISIL to get guarantees from the Iraqi government to have its bases in
Mosul and Anbar provinces."

Salahuddin security commission also disclosed that "unknown planes threw
arms and ammunition to the ISIL gunmen Southeast of Tikrit city".

Also in Late December, a senior Iraqi lawmaker raised doubts about the
seriousness of the anti-ISIL coalition led by the US, and said that the
terrorist group still received aids dropped by unidentified aircraft.

"The international coalition is not serious about air strikes on ISIL
terrorists and is even seeking to take out the popular (voluntary) forces
from the battlefield against the Takfiris so that the problem with ISIL
remains unsolved in the near future," Nahlah al-Hababi told FNA.

"The ISIL terrorists are still receiving aids from unidentified fighter jets
in Iraq and Syria," she added.

Hababi said that the coalition's precise airstrikes are launched only in
those areas where the Kurdish Pishmarga forces are present, while military
strikes in other regions are not so much precise.

In late December, the US-led coalition dropped aids to the Takfiri militants
in an area North of Baghdad.

Field sources in Iraq told al-Manar that the international coalition
airplanes dropped aids to the terrorist militants in Balad, an area which
lies in Salahuddin province North of Baghdad.

In October, a high-ranking Iranian commander also slammed the US for
providing aid supplies to ISIL, adding that the US claims that the weapons
were mistakenly airdropped to ISIL were untrue.

"The US and the so-called anti-ISIL coalition claim that they have launched
a campaign against this terrorist and criminal group - while supplying them
with weapons, food and medicine in Jalawla region (a town in Diyala
Governorate, Iraq). This explicitly displays the falsity of the coalition's
and the US' claims," Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces
Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said.

The US claimed that it had airdropped weapons and medical aid to Kurdish
fighters confronting the ISIL in Kobani, near the Turkish border in Northern
Syria.

The US Defense Department said that it had airdropped 28 bundles of weapons
and supplies, but one of them did not make it into the hands of the Kurdish
fighters.

Video footage later showed that some of the weapons that the US airdropped
were taken by ISIL militants.

The Iranian commander insisted that the US had the necessary intelligence
about ISIL's deployment in the region and that their claims to have
mistakenly airdropped weapons to them are as unlikely as they are untrue.
