niZAh - Militan Negara Islam di Iraq utara mempunyai sistem
pertahanan udara moden mudah alih yang mampu menembak jatuh sebuah pesawat
penumpang, akhbar Bild am Sonntag Jerman melaporkan memetik agensi perisikan
asing di negara ini.
Menurut laporan media yang disiarkan pada hari Ahad,
Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) memaklumkan kpd Bundestag Jerman ancaman pada
sesi tertutup minggu lepas.
Agensi perisikan Jerman mengatakan bahawa Negara
Islam (IS, yang sebelum ini ISIS) militan yang terletak di utara Iraq telah
memperoleh sistem pertahanan udara dari senjata tentera yang ditawan pd Tentera
Syria, menurut laporan itu.
Militan IS telah memperoleh 1970 model serta sistem
pertahanan udara manusia mudah alih moden (MANPADS). Sistem peluru berpandu
permukaan-ke-udara ringan boleh dilepaskan dari bahu dan dikendalikan oleh satu
orang.
"Tidak seperti senjata pertahanan udara,
MANPADS adalah mudah utk digunakan, militia hampir tidak terlatih dpt
senjata api yang tepat," kata laporan itu, sambil menambah bahawa senjata
adalah sangat berbahaya utk mendarat atau berlepas pesawat.
Pihak berkuasa Jerman masih blm mengesahkan
laporan tersebut. Beberapa sya-rikat penerbangan termasuk Austrian Airlines dan
Qatar Airways, masih terbang di ruang udara di Irak utara mengawal pelampau.
GERMAN Intel WARNS ISIS
Can Shoot down
PASSENGER planes - report
PASSENGER planes - report
Islamic State militants in northern Iraq have modern
portable air defense systems that are capable of shooting down a passenger
plane, Germany’s Bild am Sonntag newspaper reported citing the country’s
foreign intelligence agency.
According to the media report published on Sunday,
the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) informed the German Bundestag of the threat
at a closed session last week.
The German intelligence agency said that the Islamic
State(IS, formerly ISIS) militants located in northern Iraq have obtained
air-defense systems from the captured military arsenal of the Syrian Army,
according to the report.
The IS militants have obtained the 1970s models as
well as modern man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS). These light-weight
surface-to-air missile systems can be fired from the shoulder and operated by
one person.
“Unlike other air defense weapons, MANPADS are easy
to use, barely-trained militiamen can fire the weapon accurately,” the report
said, adding that the weapons are especially dangerous for landing or taking
off aircrafts.
German authorities have not yet confirmed the
report. Several airlines, including Austrian Airlines and Qatar Airways, still
fly in the airspace over northern Iraq in control of the extremists.

Terdahulu beberapa laporan muncul mengatakan bahawa
militan di wilayah itu memiliki MANPADS. Khususnya, militan anti kerajaan
menyerbu pangkalan udara Tabqa di utara-tengah Syria, yang membolehkan mereka
utk mengambil kawalan ke atas keseluruhan Raqqa propinsi tersebut- kini kubu IS
- pada bulan Ogos. Para militan dilaporkan merampas sebuah cache dari
permukaan-ke-udara peluru berpandu mudah alih disimpan di sana. Pada bulan
Oktober, terdapat laporan oleh tentera Iraq yang IS pelampau telah MANPADS di
gudang mereka.
Militan IS - dinilai oleh Amerika Syarikat sebagai
pengganas dibiayai yang terbaik di DUNIA - telah merampas petak besar Syria dan Iraq
utara dan yang mendirikan kekhalifahan memproklamirkan diri di Timur Tengah.
Sebuah koalisi pimpinan Amerika Syarikat melancarkan
serangan udara menya-sarkan kedudukan militan di Syria pada bulan September. Ini
serangan menyertai Amerika Syarikat operasi udara terhadap IS di Iraq yg
bermula sebulan sebelum itu.

Earlier several reports emerged saying that the
militants in the region were in possession of MANPADs. In particular, the
anti-government militants stormed the Tabqa air base in north-central Syria,
which enabled them to take control of the whole Raqqa province– currently an IS
stronghold - in August. The militants reportedly seized a cache of the portable
surface-to-air missiles stored there. In October, there were reports by the
Iraqi military that IS extremists had MANPADs in their arsenal.
The IS militants - assessed by the US as the
best-funded terrorists in the world - have seized large swaths of Syria and
northern Iraq and established a self-proclaimed caliphate in the Middle East.
A US-led coalition launched airstrikes targeting the
militants’ positions in Syria in September. These strikes joined US air
operations against the IS in Iraq which began a month earlier.
On Sunday, the US military and partner states
conducted 12 airstrikes on the IS positions in Iraq, the US Central Command
said. Five separate airstrikes were conducted by the US military against IS
targets in Syria in the city of Kobani, US officials added.
