The Government of Saudi Arabia has decided to deploy 30,000 soldiers in the Iraqi border, about 800 kilometers long, after the military of this country have been removed from the area, as reported by the Al Arabiya television network.
Television adds that U.S. President Barack Obama and Saudi King Abdullah have held a telephone conversation on the Iraqi conflict. In it they agreed, Reuters added, the need to form a unity government in Iraq and have tackled how to deal with the threat of militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The television network based in Dubai (UAE) has explained that it has had access to a video showing about 2,500 Iraqi military in a desert area east of Kerbala after leaving their positions at the border with Saudi Arabia, leaving unprotected positions next to Saudi and Syrian territory.
The withdrawal of Iraqi military forces comes at a time when the militia of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria continue to advance positions in the north of the country, which maintains control of Mosul, the second largest city of Iraq.
