Iraq's army has shot down two British planes as they were carrying weapons for the ISIL terrorists in Al-Anbar province, a senior lawmaker disclosed on Monday.
"," Head of the committee Hakem al-Zameli said, according to a Monday report of the Arabic-language information center of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
He said the Iraqi parliament has asked London for explanations in this regard.
The senior Iraqi legislator further unveiled that the government in Baghdad is receiving daily reports from people and security forces in al-Anbar province on numerous flights by the US-led coalition planes that airdrop weapons and supplies for ISIL in terrorist-held areas.
The Iraqi lawmaker further noted the cause of such Western aid to the terrorist group, and explained that the US prefers a chaotic situation in Anbar Province, which is near the cities of Karbala and Baghdad, because it does not want the ISIL crisis to come to an end.
Earlier today, another senior Iraqi provincial official lashed out at Western countries and their regional allies for supporting Takfiri terrorists in Iraq, revealing that US and Israeli-made weapons have been discovered from the areas purged of ISIL terrorists.
"," the Al-Ahad news website quoted Head of Al-Anbar Provincial Council, Khalaf Tarmouz, as saying.
He noted that the weapons made by the European countries and Israel were discovered from the terrorists in the Eastern parts of the city of Ramadi.
Al-Zameli had also disclosed in January that the anti-ISIL coalition's planes dropped weapons and foodstuffs for ISIL in Salahuddin, Al-Anbar and Diyala provinces.
Al-Zameli underlined that the coalition is the main cause of ISIL's survival in Iraq.
"," he told FNA in January.
He noted that the members of his committee have already proved that US planes have dropped advanced weaponry, including anti-aircraft weapons, for ISIL, and that it has set up an investigation committee to probe into the matter.
"."
He noted that the committee had collected the data and the evidence provided by eyewitnesses, including Iraqi army officers and the popular forces, and said, "."
Also in January, another senior Iraqi legislator reiterated that the US-led coalition is the main cause of ISIL's survival in Iraq.
"," Jome Divan, who is member of the al-Sadr bloc in the Iraqi parliament, said.
He said the coalition's support for the ISIL is now evident to everyone, and continued, "."
In late December, an Iraqi Parliamentary Security and Defense Commission MP disclosed that a US plane supplied the ISIL terrorist organization with arms and ammunition in Salahuddin province.
MP Majid al-Gharawi stated that the available information pointed out that US planes are supplying the ISIL organization, not only in Salahuddin province, but also other provinces, Iraq TradeLink News Agency reported.

"," Nahlah al-Hababi told FNA.
"," she added.
Hababi said that the coalition's precise air-strikes are launched only in those areas where the Kurdish Pishmarga forces are present, while military strikes in other regions are not so precise.
In late December, the US-led coalition dropped aid to the Takfiri militants in an area north of Baghdad.
Field sources in Iraq told Al-Manar TV that international coalition airplanes dropped aid to terrorist militants in Balad, an area which lies in Salahuddin province, north of Baghdad.
In October, a high-ranking Iranian commander also slammed the US for providing aid supplies to ISIL, adding that US claims that the weapons were mistakenly airdropped to ISIL were untrue.
"while supplying them with weapons, food and medicine in Jalawla region (a town in Diyala Governorate, Iraq). This explicitly displays the falsity of the coalition's and the US' claims," Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri, said.
The US claimed that it had airdropped weapons and medical aid to Kurdish fighters confronting ISIL in Kobani, near the Turkish border in northern Syria.
The US Defense Department said that it had airdropped 28 bundles of weapons and supplies, but one of them did not make it into the hands of the Kurdish fighters.
Video footage later showed that some of the weapons the US airdropped were taken by ISIL militants.
The Iranian commander insisted that the US had the necessary intelligence about ISIL's deployment in the region, and that their claims to have mistakenly airdropped weapons to them are as unlikely as they are untrue.
