The United States announced on Thursday, resume training the Iraqi special forces in Jordan , as stressed its support for the Iraqi government in what it called as its war on Islamic militants

The Jordanian government agreed earlier, at the request of the Iraqi government to train troops to "fight terrorism”, in response to Iraqi -U.S. request in this regard , which came after confrontation waged by the Iraqi Army in Anbar province .

U.S. official said in remarks published by "Reuters " agency, that "The United States will resume training soldiers of the Iraqi special forces in Jordan and that Washington seek to promote American support for the Iraqi government in its war against Islamist militants ," noting that " a small number of U.S. Special Forces will participate in the training, which will take place in Jordan with Iraqi forces to fight terrorism , starting from early next June . "

He added that " this program is similar to a training course in principle to fight terrorism carried out by U.S. forces with Jordanian and Iraqi forces in Jordan earlier this year and will take part in a total of 50 soldiers from the United States , Iraq and Jordan ," persisting that "The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant is our enemy and the enemy of Iraq and we want to continue to support them in this war . "

Observers point out that the additional training to combat "terrorism " refers to the continuing concerns of the government of President Barack Obama on the increasing violence in Iraq , as bloodshed returned to levels that were not present since the height of the sectarian conflict that followed the U.S. invasion in 2003
