“The international legal bodies are duty-bound to prosecute al-Baghdadi similar to criminal Serbian commanders in Bosnia and Herzegovina (war),” Firouzabadi said in Tehran on Saturday.
“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi should be prosecuted as a war criminal for killing innocent, defenseless women, children and clerics,” he added.
Firouzabadi warned the international community that the terrorist acts of the ISIL/ISIS are far more dangerous than al-Qaeda crimes, and said if the world “doesn’t take serious action against this group immediately, it should then wait for a human catastrophe.”
ISIL is a Takfiri extremist group which has its roots in the insurgency against the US-sponsored military invasion of Iraq in 2006, and was later developed to a bigger group in Syria in 2012, with US support and training.
The group is known to be responsible for mass murders, atrocities and extremist acts of violence across Syria and Iraq.
ISIL leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, who was a detainee at US Bucca prison in 2005, but was released (?) has since announced himself as the “caliph of the entire Muslim world.”
While General Hassan Firouzabadi did not specifically mention the name the United States in his condemnation of ISIS/ISIL , he did condemn Saudi Arabia – a close US ally for supporting the terrorist group and said Riyadh’s support for the ISIL would soon backfire in its face.
“If the ISIL win, they will definitely continue their offensive against Saudi Arabia,” he warned.
Recently Iran has been critical of the United States for creating, funding and supporting ISIS fighters via its support of terrorism in Syria, which soon spread like a cancer to Iraq and now threaten the entire Middle East region.
