The Iraqi people had the required acumen and attention, which did not give way to al-Qaeda to play their tricks that they practiced to dominate the countries by following different policies and aggressive approaches that they executed against the safe people. They attach them to the necks of the innocent people in order to get rid of them, and their position would be sound in front of the people on the pretext that they are the ones who are defending their legitimate rights. However, all the people have revealed this despicable game and the big lie of al-Qaeda. It did not know that the people have revealed all its dirty tricks and it has proven its hostility to the safe people. Now, all the people are in a single row in order to eliminate this evil organization and throw it out of the country once for all. Al-Qaeda has exploited another case of lack of security and stability that occurs at present in Syria as a result of the revolution against the criminal regime led by Bashar al-Assad, the thug of Syria and the killer of its children.
