Alexander Prokhanov told that Mossad is also likely to have transferred some of its spying experiences to the ISIL leadership, adding that Israel’s military advisors could be assisting the Takfiri terrorists.

Prokhanov said ISIL is a byproduct of US policies in the Middle East. "ISIL is a tool at the hands of the United States. They tell the Europeans that if we (the Americans) do not intervene, ISIL will cause you harm," he said, adding that Iran and Russia are the prime targets of the ISIL.

"They launched their first terror attack against us just a few days back in Chechnya," he said, stressing that the ISIL ideology has got nothing to do with the Islam practiced in Iran and some other Muslim countries in the Middle East region.

Prokhanov said the United States and Israel are one and the same when it comes to supporting a terror organization like the ISIL.

The ISIL terrorist group, which controls areas of Syria and Iraq, have been committing heinous crimes against people of both Arab states.

On the issue of Western sanctions against Moscow over the Ukraine crisis, Prokhanov said the US and its allies are using sanctions to make life hard for average Russians and alienate them from Putin.He said, however, that the sanctions have so far made Putin ever more popular in Russia.

The West accuses Moscow of having a hand in the crisis in eastern Ukraine.The Kremlin denies the accusation.
