Operations in Diyala in August 2007
The 1920 Revolution Brigades insists that Hamas Iraq was involved in assisting US troops in their recent Diyala operations against al-Qaeda in Iraq in August 2007.
The insistences comes after The Washington Post reported that, per telephone interview with Lt. Col. Joseph Davidson, executive officer of the 2nd Infantry Division, U.S. forces were now "partnering with Sunni insurgents from the 1920 Revolution Brigades, which includes former members of ousted president Saddam Hussein's disbanded army." The 1920 Revolution Brigades replied that: “We say to … the occupation and to your followers and agents that you made a very big lie” in linking us with the Diyala anti-al Qaida campaign. The group maintains that the organization to which the US military spokesman referred should have been the "Iraqi Hamas" organization, which consisted of members who left the Brigades before the Diyala operations.
