The United States has made a large arms delivery to Iraq as part of the anti-terror campaign. The delivery includes 100 Hellfire missiles, assault riffles and ammunition. Hellfire missiles are the one the United States uses on drones for attacking human targets. They are designed to be precise and deadly. the United States claims that the delivery was made this month in response to escalated violence and violent action by the "Islamic State if Iraq" and "Levant."
It was also reported that Iraqi forces have been receiving large arms shipments since mid January. The military has been reportedly working closely with Sunni militias to combat al Qaida. Despite these arms shipments, violence has continues to escalate in Iraq, making the withdraw of US troops very controversial.

This makes me rather wary of what could potentially happen. With the current violence between both sides I worry that this high tech and powerful ammunition and weaponry could fall into the wrong hands.
