Former PM Hoss tackles local, regional developments with Iraq's Maliki
Former Prime Minister Salim al-Hoss received on Sunday Iraqi Vice-President Nouri Al-Maliki at his residence in Aisha Bakar with talks featuring high on the local and regional developments.     

Maliki briefed Hoss on the incidents taking place in Iraq as well as efforts being exerted to combat the Islamic State militant group, noting that "Iraqis will ultimately triumph thanks to their unity and solidarity."

For his  part, former PM Hoss lauded the efforts deployed by Iraq and its citizens in the fight against terrorism, hoping the Iraqi people will triumph over terrorists and "darkness be wiped off Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine".     

On Saturday, Iraqi Vice-President Nouri Al-Maliki said he was optimistic that his country will be a “graveyard” for the Islamic State militant group, noting “the IS group should be eliminated in Iraq as well as in Syria”.         

“Iraq and Syria are historically interlinked,” Maliki said upon his arrival to Beirut, adding “the world must take joint action to combat terrorism”.        

The Islamic State group has declared a self-styled Islamic caliphate in areas under its control in Iraq and Syria, governing it according to its violent interpretation of Shariah law. The group has carried out mass killings targeting government security forces, ethnic minorities and others against it.        

“The airstrikes carried out by the international coalition are helpful but do not lead to the liberation of a land,” said Maliki who arrived on Saturday to the Lebanese capital Beirut in a visit whereby he is set to meet a number of officials.                              

Maliki, who came from Baghdad accompanied with a delegation, was received at the Beirut International Airport by State Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Mohammad Fneish, Iraqi ambassador to Lebanon Raad al-Allousi and a number of embassy staff.
