Air strikes target ISIS positions in Kirkuk and Mosul
[Rudaw] ERBIL, Kurdistan Region--Over the last two days US-led coalition jets hammered 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) positions in Kirkuk and djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, killing a number of bully boys, Kurdish military officials said.

In Mosul two air strikes on houses believed to be occupied by a local ISIS commander resulted in the death of 12 civilians on Monday, Rooters reported today. Eight gunnies were also reported killed.

On Tuesday coalition jets covered a Peshmerga ground offensive against ISIS in Kirkuk.

"Peshmerga obtained intelligence on an ongoing ISIS maneuver on the front," Kamal Kirkuki, the Peshmerga commander in Western Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
told Rudaw.

The ISIS gunnies were believed to be digging trenches and tunnels to fortify their positions in the region.

"We foiled their plots before they reached any Peshmerga posts," he added.

According to Kirkuki the air strikes killed 5 bully boys.
