BAGHDAD (The Thursday Times) — Tel ki mubayyana smuggling ki tehqiqat karne wali Iraqi hukumat ki ek committee Jumme ko bare fauji daste ki hifazat mein Jurf al-Sakhar mein dakhil hui, jo Baghdad ke junoob mein ek qila-band ilaqa hai aur jise aam taur par Iran se wabasta musallah tanzeem Kataib Hezbollah ke control mein samjha jata hai. Committee ne wahan musallah dharon ke rehnumaon se mulaqat ke baad is baat par ittefaq kiya ke tehqiqat kaise aage barhegi.
Wazir-e-Azam Ali al-Zaidi ne Jumeraat ko yeh 11 rukni committee tashkeel di aur ise Popular Mobilization Forces ke matehat kar diya, jo zyada tar Shia musallah groups ka sarkari taur par tasleem shuda ittehad hai aur 2014 mein Daesh se larne ke liye banaya gaya tha. Committee ki sarbarahi Popular Mobilization Commission ke director general baraye nazm-o-zabt aur salamati kar rahe hain, jabke iske arkaan mein Wazir-e-Azam ke musheer Muayad al-Saadi, director integrity investigations, aur Wizarat-e-Tel, Federal Police, Counter-Terrorism Service, aur Wizarat-e-Dakhla ke senior hukkam shamil hain, jin mein Energy Police ke sarbarah bhi shamil hain.
Muamle se waqif ek zariye ke mutabiq committee ne Jurf al-Sakhar ke andar ek security headquarters mein dharon ke rehnumaon se mulaqat ki aur kaam shuru karne se pehle tehqiqati tareeqa-e-kaar aur field doron ke schedule par ittefaq kiya. Ilaqe se samne aane wali footage mein woh commanders Wizarat-e-Dakhla ke afsaran se baat karte dikhai diye jin ke baare mein khayal hai ke unka talluq Kataib Hezbollah se hai. Hukumat ke Security Media Cell ke sarbarah Saad Maan ne is baat ki tardeed ki ke siyasi groups ya musallah dharon ko khud committee mein nashistein di gayi hain.
Yeh tehqiqat ek intelligence report ke baad shuru hui hai jo Peer se gardish kar rahi hai aur jis mein ilzam lagaya gaya hai ke ilaqe mein ek pipeline mein ghair qanooni suraakh kar ke tel nikala ja raha hai aur tankeron ke zariye le jaya ja raha hai. Is report ki azadana tasdeeq nahin ho saki, aur yeh wazeh nahin ke ise kis idare ne tayyar kiya.
Committee ke qayam ka hukm-nama, jis par Jumeraat ki tareekh darj hai aur Commander-in-Chief ke daftar ke director Lieutenant General Abdul Amir al-Shammari ke dastakhat hain, use “Jurf al-Nasr ke ilaqe mein tel ki masnooaat ki smuggling” ki tehqiqat karne aur apni report pesh karne ka kaam saunpta hai. Jurf al-Nasr woh naam hai jo 2014 mein Iraqi forces aur ittehadi musallah groups ke Daesh se ilaqa wapas lene ke baad ise sarkari taur par diya gaya tha.
Riyasti amaldari ka imtihan
Committee ki rawangi se pehle al-Zaidi ne Badr Tanzeem ke sarbarah Hadi al-Amiri, Popular Mobilization Commission ke chairman Falih al-Fayyadh, aur force ke chief of staff Abdul Aziz al-Muhammadawi se mulaqat ki, jo Abu Fadak ke naam se jaane jaate hain. Mulaqat ki tafseelat ke mutabiq Wazir-e-Azam ne mutalba kiya ke qanoon-shikni karne walon ke khilaf qanoon nafiz kiya jaye, jabke al-Amiri aur al-Fayyadh ne tajweez di ke mutalliqa groups ko az-sar-e-nau munazzam hone aur apne hathiyaron par baat-cheet dobara shuru karne ka waqt diya jaye.
America ne 2009 mein Kataib Hezbollah ko dehshatgard tanzeem qarar diya tha, aur 2021 mein tanzeem ke sabiq secretary general al-Muhammadawi ko dehshatgard qarar diya tha.
“Riyasat ka muqabla sirf un quwwaton se nahin jin ke paas hathiyar hain; yeh quwwatein ab siyasi faislon par asar-andaz hone ki salahiyat bhi hasil kar chuki hain,” ek hukumati musheer ne kaha. Unhon ne mazeed kaha ke Baghdad muashre ke tabqaat se takrao ke baghair apni khudmukhtari bahal karna chahta hai.
Is muamle ne Babil ki soobai hukumat ko bhi hila kar rakh diya hai. Governor Ali Turki, jo January mein Iran se wabasta tanzeem Asaib Ahl al-Haq ke siyasi wing Sadiqoun ke ummeedwar ke taur par muntakhib hue the, ne Mangal ko maqam ka daura karne ke baad smuggling ke ilzamaat mustarad kar diye aur kaha ke yeh ek purana fuel station hai jo Federal Police aur Popular Mobilization Forces ki gaariyon ke liye istemal hota tha. Jumeraat ko unhon ne kaha ke woh is muamle par mustaafi ho gaye hain, lekin chand ghante baad unhon ne aur governorate ke sarkari page ne ek post shaya ki jis se lagta tha ke woh ab bhi ohde par hain. Hafte ko bhi unki haisiyat wazeh nahin thi.
Parliament ke Speaker Haibat al-Halbousi ne Budh ko report ki tehqiqat ke liye arkaan-e-parliament ki ek alag committee banane ka hukm diya. Dono mein se kisi committee ne ab tak koi nateeja jari nahin kiya.
Jurf al-Sakhar 2014 se sakht security pabandiyon mein hai, aur iske bohat se be-ghar rehaishi ab bhi wapas nahin ja sakte. Khayal kiya jata hai ke wahan fauji camp, aslahe ke zakhair, aur rocket aur drone banane ke markaz maujood hain, aur bohat se log samajhte hain ke yeh ilaqa Iran ki Pasdaran-e-Inqilab ke operations centre ke taur par bhi kaam karta hai, taham dharon ke numainde is ilzam ki tardeed karte hain. Al-Zaidi ne guzishta maah Bashar al-Assad ke baad ke Syria ka pehla daura kiya tha, jab Baghdad tel bar-aamad karne ke naye raste talaash kar raha tha.
