Iraqi army says border area with Syria taken from ISIS
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iraqi Yazidi and tribal fighters have taken a border area in the Sinjar region next to Syria from 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.... , cutting a key supply line for the bad boys, Iraq’s military said on Friday. The fighters took control of the Um al-Diban and Um Jurais districts near the Syrian border, according to a military statement read on state TV. A mixed force of Iraqi Kurdish pershmergas and Yazidis in November recaptured the Yazidi town of Sinjar where Islamic State committed atrocities against religious minorities. Last month a Syrian Kurdish-led force captured the strategic town of Shadadi, on the Syrian side of the border with Sinjar. Posted by: Fred 2016-03-26 |
