Saudi Arabia Forms Muslim 'anti-terrorism' Coalition by ikon123(m): 10:05am On Dec 15, 2015
ISIL
Saudi Arabia has formed a coalition of 34 mainly Muslim
countries - including powers such as Egypt and Turkey - to
coordinate a fight against "terrorist organisations".
The alliance was announced by the country's defence minister
and deputy crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, on Tuesday.
Arab countries such as Qatar and the UAE will join the
coalition, as well as Middle Eastern, Asian, and African states,
including Turkey, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Nigeria.
Saudi Arabia's regional rival Iran and its allies Syria and Iraq,
were excluded from the alliance despite the states sharing a
common enemy in the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
(ISIL) group.
Bin Salman said the states would work together to target "any
terrorist organisation, not just ISIL" in countries including
Iraq, Syria. Libya, Egypt, and Afghanistan.
Military operations would work in accordance with local laws
and in cooperation with the international community, he
added.
In an earlier press statement issued by the Saudi Press Agency,
officials said the group would be led by Saudi Arabia and the
country would host a "joint operations centre to coordinate"
efforts.
ISIL threat
Most of the countries in the coalition are currently involved in
military operations against ISIL or have been targeted by the
group.
Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies have carried out air strikes
against the fighters in Syria and were targeted by the group in
Yemen, where they are involved in a separate war against Iran-
backed Houthi rebels.
In August, an ISIL suicide bomber killed 15 people, mainly
special forces soldiers, at a mosque in Asir province bordering
Yemen.
ISIL has also targeted Saudi Arabia's Shia minority, killing
dozens in bomb attacks targeting mosques.
Saudi authorities have carried out raids detaining hundreds of
suspected ISIL members and sympathisers in response.
