US marine dies in Iraq Mosul rocket attack
 [BBC] A US marine has been killed and several other American servicemen injured by rocket fire outside the city of djinn-infested Mosul... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the Pentagon has said. The northern Iraqi city is held by the group known as 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.... (IS). Enemy forces fired two rockets into a base where US troops are training the Iraqi military, officials said. It is the second time an American soldier has been killed in combat in Iraq since US forces re-entered the country in late 2014. The last US serviceman was killed by enemy small-arms fire in an October raid to free about 70 hostages held by IS in northern Iraq. Posted by: Fred 2016-03-20 |
