Pentagon's Food Parcels Discovered in ISIL Trenches in Beiji

TEHRAN (FNA)- Food parcels belonging to the US Pentagon were discovered in Beiji oil refinery in Salahuddin province in Northern Iraq after the refinery and the nearby city were taken back from the ISIL terrorist group in mid-October.

The Food parcels were discovered by a group of Iranian documentary filmmakers, including Vahid Farahani and Seyed Hashem Moussavi, who were in Iraq in October to prepare a documentary on the Iraqi army's military advances against the ISIL Takfiri terrorist group in Salahuddin province, specially in Beiji city North of Baghdad.

The documentary, 'Conquest of Beiji', provides a complete account of advances by the Iraqi army and volunteer forces against the ISIL terrorist group in Beiji.

A major part of the 'Conquest of Beiji' focuses on the discovery of ammunition and food parcels that all carry Pentagon labels.

Vahid Farahani and his team put on display some of the parcels and emptied their contents at a meeting at Fars News Agency upon their return from Iraq.

if these were from the recent attempts at dropping food to trapped civilians.

However, they'll probably profit from the fiction that they're being supported by the US.

If anyone really wanted to they could trace the product code and determine
at least when and where it entered that part of the world.
