It has come to light that the ISIS terror organization and its supporters planned details of the attack on Mosul in a hotel in Istanbul under the protection of the Turkish Intelligence Organization between the 28 February and 2 March. The militants reportedly met in Jordan’s capital Amman on the 1 June and invaded Mosul a week later.
One of the most striking allegations made over the meeting is that the first draft of the invasion was planned with the knowledge of Turkey, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The Turkish Intelligence Organization MİT in the meantime, provided ammunition, location support and transportation all over the region.
The secret meeting was revealed by Syrian Turkmens who were also present at the same hotel in Istanbul for a meeting by the Syrian Turkmen Democratic Movement held on the very same day.
The leaders of Sunni radical organizations reportedly attended the meeting including a senior of the Jordanian Intelligence Organization, the local organizations of the old Ba’ath Party and other representatives of Sunni movements.
The main issue of the meeting was allegedly the weakening of the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki by building a Sunni front against Shias through the ISIS terror group.
According to the claims, the al-Maliki government was aware of such meetings under the leadership of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Jordan and got in touch with some authorities regarding the issue. Despite the continuous negotiations between Tehran and Erbil, the government of the Northern Iraqi Regional Administration Prime Minister Massoud Barzani insisted on taking sides against the central Iraqi administration. Iran’s attempt to call out Ahmed Jalebi, one of the opponents of Saddam Hussein, did not come in useful, either.
In the meeting which followed in Amman on 1 June, Libyan and North African authorities also participated together with Sunni representatives. Only a week later, ISIS invaded Mosul in an operation which lasted a couple of hours.
On the 16 June, ISIS and al-Qaeda leaders and representatives of the aforementioned countries came together one more time in the Intercontinental in Amman to evaluate the circumstances after the invasion.
