Video - Islamic State releases video of training camp in Ninewa.......Nice U.S. mil. tents. HT: LongWarJournal.

 The Islamic State has released a new video entitled "Blood of Jihad", which shows many new recruits undergoing training in Ninewa province, Iraq. The total number of recruits featured in the release is more than 100.

In the video, US military tents and weapons are clearly seen being used in the training camp. Each recruit appears to be equipped with either an AK-47, RPG, or a PK machine gun.

Throughout the video, the recruits undergo live fire training, weapons training, hand-to-hand combat training, and training on how to extract a wounded or dead fighter from a firefight. Before the video ends, an Islamic State ideologue gives a fiery speech to the recruits. Read the full story here.

Muqtada Sadr: Anti-ISIL Coalition Seeks Iraq's Disintegration

Muqtada Sadr: Anti-ISIL Coalition Seeks Iraq's Disintegration. (Fars).

Iraqi cleric Seyed Muqtada al-Sadr said that the US-led coalition against the ISIL is seeking to disintegrate Iraq, and stressed that the United States has nothing but ill wishes for the Iraqi nation.

In a statement released on Saturday, Sadr underscored that the US is attempting to break up and destroy Iraq under the pretext of combating the ISIL terrorists.

Muqtada Sadr further called on the Iraqi government to redouble its efforts to liberate Nineveh province from the control of the ISIL terrorist group.

Elsewhere in his statement, the Iraqi cleric said that the territories freed by the volunteer forces will be handed over to the army in 15 days.

Muqtada Sadr had earlier expressed strong opposition to the US military intervention in the country, calling on US authorities to withdraw their troops form Iraq.

Also, Iraq's Hezbollah Battalions in a statement issued last month strongly rejected any cooperation with the US-led coalition against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

"The coalition being formed against the ISIL which is led by the US is a prelude to a new occupation plot," part of the statement said.

The Hezbollah Battalions urged the Iraqi nation to be vigilant against the scenarios of the West, specially the US, and their mercenaries in the region, implying that the ISIL is working for the US.

"We believe that demanding help from the US means a confiscation (by the US) of the Iraqi nation and people's resistance against terrorism and the pain and agony that they have had to suffer for protecting Iraq's unity," the statement said.

"We believe that the US is responsible for Iraq's problems and challenges and we do not have any hope in the United States," it added.

The Battalions also urged Iraq's religious authorities and elites as well as other layers of the society from different walks of life to take straightforward stances about the current developments and the US meddling in the country before it's too late.

Also in September, the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, voiced its opposition to Lebanon's participation in the US-led coalition against the ISIL.

"Hezbollah is opposed to Lebanon's presence in the anti-ISIL coalition led by the US and Saudi Arabia and created with the partnership of those countries supporting the Takfiri terrorist groups," the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar quoted a source close to Hezbollah as saying on the condition of anonymity last month.

Muqtada Sadr: We will shake the ground under ISIL feet.

Muqtada Sadr: We will shake the ground under ISIL feet. (Abna).

Iraqi powerful cleric Muqtada al-Sadr pledged to defeat extremist and Takfiri militants while voicing strong opposition to another US military presence in the country.

On Wednesday, Sadr ruled out any intervention by the United States in Iraq and pledged to stop assaults by militants of the al-Qaeda splinter Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

“We will shake the ground under the feet of ignorance and extremism as we did under those of the occupation,” Sadr said in a televised speech from the holy city of Najaf.

The prominent cleric expressed opposition against US military advisers’ meeting with Iraqi commanders, adding that he would back “international support from non-occupying states for the army of Iraq.”

Sadr’s remarks came days after his supporters paraded in the Sadr City, situated in the north of the capital Baghdad.

On June 10, the Takfiri militants took control of the Nineveh provincial capital Mosul, in a lightning advance, which was followed by the fall of Tikrit, located 140 kilometers (87 miles) northwest of Baghdad.

The ISIL has vowed to continue its raid towards Baghdad. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has said that the country’s security forces would confront the terrorists, calling the seizure of Mosul a “conspiracy”.

Soldiers of the Iraqi army have been engaged in heavy fighting with the militants in different fronts and have so far been able to push back militants in several areas.
