ISIL Seeking to Assassinate Ayatollah Sistani, Nasrallah
The organization, which has presented a report on the activities of the ISIL, said senior Iraqi source of emulation grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr are among those the militant group plans to murder, Al-Dastour daily reported.
The assassinations are aimed at spreading sectarian strife between Shia and Sunni Muslims in the region, the organization said.
The ISIL terrorists have been committing atrocities in parts of Iraq in the past few weeks.
Iraqi armed forces have been engaged in fierce clashes with the terrorists, who have threatened to take their acts of violence to other Iraqi cities, including the capital, Baghdad. However, the ISIL’s advance has been slowed down as Iraqi military and volunteer forces have begun engaging them on several fronts.
Senior Muslim clerics have condemned the ISIL atrocities, including mass executions and rape.
Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has recently said Baghdad's air and ground forces will turn the tide against the so-called ISIL and its associated militant groups within days. Maliki has vowed that the country’s security forces would confront the foreign-sponsored militants.
