On Saturday, British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon in an interview Telegraph said that since January, four Iraqi cities will be a center of training Iraqi and Kurdish forces fighting against the Islamists in the north. They will be engaged in the protection of British troops, who, if necessary, will be ready to join the battle.
Among the professionals who will travel to Iraq, will be including explosives. They will not be on the front lines, and will be engaged in mine roads
Fallon did not specify how many troops will leave Iraq, but suggested that this figure is not very big. At present, there are only 50 military personnel working with government forces.
Fallon acknowledged that the Allied air raid on the position of the “Islamic state” did not lead to a decisive turning point in the course of fighting, because only led to the fact that the extremists have changed tactics and abandoned warfare major compounds. “They are stronger in the settlements, which means that the Islamists will have to beat out during ground operations,” – said the British minister.
