Islamic State hit by U.S., allies in nine air strikes
[IN.REUTERS] The United States and its allies targeted Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... in nine air strikes in Iraq and Syria in the latest round of daily attacks on the Lion of Islams, the Combined Joint Task Force said on Sunday. In Syria, three strikes near the city of Kobani hit an Islamic State tactical unit, vehicles and fighting positions in a 24-hour period that ended early Sunday. Another raid near Raqqah destroyed an armored personnel carrier, the task force said in a statement. Three strikes near djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Iraq, destroyed two excavators and a shipping container while a building, heavy machinegun and cache of explosives were destroyed in two air strikes near Ramadi.
