Iraqi PM slams Saudi-led coalition as “paper army”

Press TV, Baghdad
Controversy continues to plague Riyadh’s plans to establish a so-called alliance to fight against terrorism. Following denials by a number of countries who had been announced in the list of participating countries, Iraq has now blasted the alliance as well. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi says the Saudi coalition excludes countries that have been battling terror for years and includes others which have backed terror and refused to provide assistance in fighting it. Our correspondent Altaf Ahmad reports from Baghdad.
