...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.

 bases in Shingal Friday, causing heavy casualties, a Peshmerga commander has told Rudaw.

Brigadier General Ezadeen Saddo said the US coalition continuously targeted ISIS military bases to the east and west of Shingal for more than an hour.

"Due to the coalition's intensified Arclight airstrikes, ISIS holy warriors started to get worried," Saddo said.

The official said due to night conditions they could not assist ISIS casualties.

ISIS forces overran the Shingal district on August 3, 2014, forcing thousands of Yezidi Kurds to flee to the mountains. Hundreds of Yezidis were killed and thousands more taken into captivity, mostly women and maidens of tender years.
