IFP - An Iraqi commander says there are evidence that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been trying to revive the former dictator Saddam Hussein�s Baath party in Iraq.





Deputy Commander of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, says the consulates of Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region have sought to revive Iraq�s Baath party in the country.

He went on to say that there are comprehensive information about the subject.

Al-Muhandis also noted that Saudi Arabia was attempting to form a militia group in Iraq, adding, however, since the country�s plot failed, it concentrated its efforts on al-Qaeda and ISIS.

The Iraqi commander said if he feels the need, he can disclose the information he has about the issue, according to a Farsi report by the Al-Alam News Network,

�The truth is that we do not want to damage the international relations between Iraq and the regional countries.�

He also said Saudi Arabia is not honest in its fight against terrorism.

Al-Muhandis added that the actual role Riyadh is playing in Iraq has remained unchanged.

�Saudi Arabia is still targeting the Iraqi establishment and the PMU.�
