KABUL: ( Middle East Press) A political commentator says the United States and its Western allies created the ISIL militants group in order to bomb Syria and replace the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad with a pro-Western government.
ISIL “is a creation of the West. When I say the West, I am referring mainly to the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU, NATO, Israel, and Saudi Arabia,” said Walt Peretto.
“The two main purpose of the creation of ISIS (ISIL) is to replace al-Qaeda as a threat to the Western interests after al-Qaeda was exposed as another Western creation,” he stated.
“The other main role of ISIS is to be an excuse to bomb Syria,” the analyst said.
The ISIL terrorists, who were initially trained by the CIA in Jordan in 2012 to destabilize the Syrian government, now control large parts Iraq and Syria.
US warplanes have been conducting airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq since early August.
