CP/16/C25
MOCK CLAT-25
SECTION I-ENGLISH
Directions(1-8):Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
Iran's first female vice president, Masoumeh Ebtekar, singled out the United States and the CIA as the
progenitor of ISIL. And Iran's former Iranian minister of intelligence, Heydar Moslehi, went further by
arguing that Mossad, MI6, And CIA created ISIL, or Daesh.
Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir agreed. He told Euronews this week that America's CIA and Israel's
Mossad are behind Boko Haram and ISIL.
"I said CIA and the Mossad stand behind these organisations. There is no Muslim who would carry out
such acts," he said. (Bashir also blames the US and Israel for the ICC's 2013 warrants accusing him of
responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity and acts of genocide.)
And so does Fidel Castro. He believes that Israel and certain American elements are behind ISIL. Others
believe the opposite; that it's actually Iran that's culpable. Former Syrian National Coalition President
Ahmad Jarbainsisted that Iran is behind rise of ISIL. Could "Quds Force be behind the ISIL in Iraq?"
asked one observer. And yet, more than a few argued that the Saudi Arabia stood behind ISIL. Then
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, claimed in a statement last summer that the Saudis were
supporting ISIL and "facilitating genocide".
A former US general, Wesley Clark, reckons it's all part of an ongoing strategic conflict: "Our friends
and allies funded ISIL to destroy Hezbollah." For Clark, radical Islam is not the issue per se, as it's been
generally exploited for strategic ends. For example, according to him: "The United States used radical
Islam to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. We begged the Saudis to put the money in; they did." And the
seasoned journalist, Patrick Cockburn, the author of "The Jihadis Return: ISIS and the New Sunni
Uprising", claimed that Saudi Arabia "helped ISIL take over north Iraq". He cited British intelligence
sources that believe the Saudi plan goes back a decade. Is "the enemy of my enemy my friend" or my
enemy? Or could it be both, depending on the level of cynicism involved? Clearly, those who highlight
the savagery of ISIL seem to also be benefitting most from it.
Most of the claims about the responsibility for the rise and spread of ISIL are either ideologically driven,
or pure speculation. It's not clear how any one of these prime suspects would be willing or able to put an
organisation like ISIL together. Money is not nearly enough to sustain or explain its drive. Even if ISIL
proves day-in day-out to be at their service; providing them with pretexts for any policy and every
action, it doesn't prove that any of these players are behind its rise. In short, benefitting from ISIL's
actions doesn't necessarily translate into creating it.
The question one must ask is not who's behind the rise and expansion of ISIL, but rather what led to its
rise and what helps it withstand the international coalition's bombings and pressures. Obama, as I
explained a few days ago, gave his own explanation for the rise of ISIL; one that included dictatorship,
sectarianism, alienation and marginalisation of Arabs and Muslims.
Seasoned former UN diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi, who served as special envoy to Afghanistan and Syria,
and was somewhat close to the Washington circles, said this week that there was "no doubt that the
original sin which led to the emergence of ISIL is the US-led invasion of Iraq. There was no justification

for the war in Iraq, and we all suffer the consequences". To be clear, Brahimi later clarified: "I don't
mean the US created ISIL, but the conditions following the invasion led al-Qaeda to come to Iraq and
for ISIL to gain power."
To sum it all up, the US occupation of Iraq, the Iranian manipulation of instability in Iraq and Syria, the
cruelty and brutality of dictators like Bashar al-Assad, and the sectarian cynicism that followed are
certainly to blame.

Directions(33-40):Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a predominantly Sunni jihadist group, seeks to sow civil unrest in
Iraq and the Levant with the aim of establishing a caliphate—a single, transnational Islamic state based
on sharia. The group emerged in the ashes of the U.S.-led invasion to oust Saddam Hussein as al-Qaeda
in Iraq (AQI), and the insurgency that followed provided it with fertile ground to wage a guerrilla war
against coalition forces and their domestic allies.
After a U.S. counterterrorism campaign and Sunni efforts to maintain local security in what was known
as the Tribal Awakening, AQI violence diminished from its peak in 2006–2007. But since the
withdrawal of U.S. forces in late 2011, the group has increased attacks on mainly Shiite targets in what
is seen as an attempt to reignite conflict between Iraq's Sunni minority and the Shiite-dominated
government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Burgeoning violence in 2013 left nearly eight thousand
civilians dead, making it Iraq's bloodiest year since 2008, according to the United Nations. Meanwhile,
in 2012 the group adopted its new moniker, ISIS (sometimes translated as Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant, or ISIL) as an expression of its broadened ambitions as its fighters have crossed into
neighbouring Syria to challenge both the Assad regime and secular and Islamist opposition groups there.
By June 2014, the group's fighters had routed the Iraqi military in the major cities of Fallujah and Mosul
and established territorial control and administrative structures on both sides of the Iraqi-Syrian border.
The insurgent group was launched by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an Arab of Jordanian descent, and
flourished in the sectarian tensions that followed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Zarqawi had
commanded volunteers in Herat, Afghanistan, before fleeing to northern Iraq in 2001. There he joined
with Ansar al-Islam (Partisans of Islam), a militant Kurdish separatist movement, for whom he led the
group's Arab contingent. Analysts say this group, not al-Qaeda, was the precursor to AQI.
Ahead of the 2003 invasion, U.S. officials made a case before the UN Security Council linking
Zarqawi's group with Osama bin Laden, though some experts say it wasn't until October 2004 that
Zarqawi vowed obedience to the al-Qaeda leader. The U.S. State Department designated AQI a foreign
terrorist organization that same month. "For al-Qaeda, attaching its name to Zarqawi's activities enabled
it to maintain relevance even as its core forces were destroyed in Afghanistan or on the run," wrote
Brian Fishman, a counterterrorism fellow at the New America Foundation.
According to a 2011 report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Zarqawi developed a
four-pronged strategy to defeat the coalition: isolate U.S. forces by targeting its allies; discourage Iraqi
collaboration by targeting government infrastructure and personnel; target reconstruction efforts through
high-profile attacks on civilian contractors and aid workers; and draw the U.S. military into a Sunni-
Shiite civil war by targeting Shiites.
CP/16/C25
The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), the transitional government established by the United States
and its coalition partners, made two decisions early in the U.S.-led occupation that are often cited as
having fed the insurgency. The CPA's first order banned members of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath party
from government positions; its second order disbanded the Iraqi army and security services, creating
hundreds of thousands of new coalition enemies, many of them armed Sunnis.
"For al-Qaeda, attaching its name to Zarqawi's activities enabled it to maintain relevance even as its core
forces were destroyed [in Afghanistan] or on the run." —Brian Fishman, New America Foundation
AQI's fighters were drawn initially from Zarqawi's networks in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and later
merged with recruits from Syria, Iraq, and its neighbours. The group's makeup became predominantly
Iraqi by 2006, the Washington Post reported. But while the group peaked in 2006 and 2007 at the height
of Iraq's sectarian civil war—which AQI helped foment—its ranks were diminished by a
counterterrorism campaign by U.S. Special Operations Forces and the U.S.-backed Sahwa, or Sunni
Awakening movement.
