An Iraqi Shi'ite militia group said on Friday it would attack U.S. interests in Iraq and the region if Washington carries out a military strike on Syria.

"All their interests and facilities in Iraq and the region will be targeted by our militants if the United States insists on attacking Syria," a spokesman for the Iraqi militia group al-Nujaba'a told Reuters by telephone, without giving details.

Al-Nujaba'a is an umbrella group which includes Iraqi Shi'ite militants who have crossed into neighboring Syria to fight alongside troops loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Assad is from the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam.

The group includes fighters of the Asaib al-Haq and Kata'ib Hezbollah militias and the Mehdi army militia of anti-U.S. Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, which was mostly disbanded after its defeat by Iraqi and U.S. forces in 2008.....snip~

Iraqi militia vowes to attack U.S. interests if Syria hit


So now the threats have started.....from none other than the Shia in Iraq. Their Militia can go after the troops we still have there. Which isn't much. The sectarian divide is already going in Iraq. Now it is becoming a front in Egypt's Sinai. Which all are now starting to tune into the show. We can expect more to come.
 
Oh noes! We're so scared of Al Nujaba!
 
First you spanked the Iran thread. Now this one. I like where you're going with this.

Everyone knows that the greatest fear in America today is al newjob.

Do you think the 2nd most powerful Shia Cleric in Iraq cannot stir the Shia up.....al nutjob isn't so much the concern. Its some of the people that belong to other groups.

We better do what Al Nutjoba says.
 
On a serious note, the greatest fear in this World for me is if Israel is attacked by any one of the many factions in the ME.

I see.....in your mind. We should ignore any warnings that come in from any groups talking about hitting our interests, should we strike Syria. That none of the US personnel in Iraq should be concerned about much of anything Right?

We better do what Al Nutjoba says, eh......Been watching that Marathon with Simpsons and homer again. Havent you?

U.S. intercepts Iranian order for attack on U.S. interests in Iraq: report

The United States has intercepted an order from an Iranian official instructing militants in Iraq to attack U.S. interests in Baghdad in the event the Obama administration launches a military strike in Syria, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

The American embassy in Baghdad was a likely target, according to unnamed U.S. officials quoted by the newspaper. The Journal said the officials did not describe the range of potential targets indicated by the intelligence.

In addition, the State Department issued a warning on Thursday telling U.S. citizens to avoid all but "essential" travel to Iraq.

The Journal reported that the message informed Shi'ite groups to be prepared to respond with force after any U.S. military strike on Syria.

The department said that numerous insurgent groups, including al Qaeda's Iraq affiliate, remain active and "terrorist activity and sectarian violence persist in many areas of the country at levels unseen since 2008."

It added: "The ability of the embassy to respond to situations in which U.S. citizens face difficulty, including arrests, is extremely limited."
