Reuters: ANALYSIS-On Iraq's border with Syria, Iran-backed militia warily eye US forces

* U.S. and PMF both oppose Islamic State
* But many Shi'ite paramilitaries see U.S. forces as threat
* PMF has deployed to Iraq-Syria border
* U.S. regards Iran as threat to regional security

Al-QAIM, Iraq, Dec 12 (Reuters) - From a desert hillside guarded by Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitaries, commander Qasim Muslih can spot Islamic State hideouts across the frontier in Syria. But he also keeps a wary eye on U.S. warplanes soaring overhead.

"The Americans are spying on us," he said, squinting skywards. "But we can hold the borders. We'll fight whoever lays a finger on Iraq and its holy shrines."

The fighters Muslih commands are part of the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), a grouping of mostly Shi'ite militias backed by Iran, which the United States regards as the biggest threat to security in the Middle East.
