Alwaght- The commander of Sayyed al-Shuhada Brigade, belonging to Iraq’s Public Mobilization Forces, in an interview with Iran’s Tasnim news agency has said that the Saudi ambassador in Baghdad tried to broker a 36-hour ceasefire deal in Fallujah in a bid to get ISIS terrorists out of the city which has undergone an Iraqi forces' assault.
Talking to Tasnim's reporter in Iraq, Abu Hashim Fenyan al-Wilaee has said that “I personally heard that the Saudi Arabian ambassador to Iraq tried to get a 36-hour chance of truce to open up safe routes for the terrorists of ISIS to move out of Fallujah." The commander also added that "a lot of Arab and foreign nationals are present in the city as part of the terrorist group’s forces."
Al-Wilaee continued that "over 300 Saudi women are now present in Fallujah, and I call on the prime minister not to give chance of a political deal with the terrorists. We think that the Iraqi government is serious in putting an end to the terrorism in the country."
The field commander also maintained that “in a meeting with the prime minister, I demanded that the cleansing operation in the city has to be conducted immediately, and he told me that the operation to enter the center of Fallujah from several routes would be launched within the upcoming 24 hours."
