US provides Iraq with weapons shipments

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The White House spokesman Jay Carney said the US would step up its deliveries of missiles and surveillance drones to Iraq. “We’re working closely with the Iraqis to develop a holistic strategy to isolate the al-Qaeda-affiliated groups and we have seen some early successes in Ramadi,” Carney said.”This situation remains fluid and it’s too early to tell or make conclusions about it. But we’re accelerating our foreign military sales deliveries,” he added.”The United States was looking to provide additional shipments of Hellfire missiles to Iraq,” Carney noted, “as well as 10 ScanEagle drones and 48 Raven drones,” he concluded.
