US, allies target Islamic State with 28 air strikes in Syria, Iraq
[AlAhram] US-led coalition forces conducted 18 air strikes against 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 Iraq and 10 in Syria on Wednesday, the US military said. The strikes in Iraq targeted eight cities including Falluja, Haditha, djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Sinjar and Makhmur, destroying buildings, vehicles, weapons and tactical units, the task force in charge of the strikes said in a statement Thursday. The task force said the Syria strikes included six near Hasaka, the northeastern city stormed last week by Islamic State fighters who drove out thousands of civilians. The Syrian army said it recaptured the residential area on Monday. Other northern cities targeted in Syria included Kobane and Tal Abyad, the statement said. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-07-03 |
