Sunnis fighters among Shias in Tikrit

SHAFAFQNA – West media with help of Arab country trying to label Shia volunteers fighters as sectarian , AP reported that ” Al-Jabouri, a member of one of Iraq’s most prominent tribes, is among about 150 Sunnis fighting in a tense alliance alongside the Iraqi army and tens of thousands of Shiite militiamen to try to recapture Tikrit from the Islamic State militants.” The Report added ”  While small in number, the Sunni brigade is viewed as a crucial component against the extremists, who captured territory mainly in Iraq’s predominantly Sunni provinces last year. They receive weapons and supplies from the Iraqi government, much of which al-Jabouri said originates from Iran, which is providing enormous support to Iraqi security forces, training, advising and equipping fighters on the battlefield.”
