Air Raids Kill 24 IS Fighters, 8 Civilians in Syria's Raqa
[AnNahar] At least 24 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....
group fighters and eight non-combatants were killed in air strikes Sunday on Syria's Raqa, the de facto capital of the jihadist movement, a monitor said.

It was unclear whether the raids were carried out by Syrian, Russian or U.S.-led coalition warplanes, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

"At least 24 IS members, among them three commanders, as well as eight non-combatants were killed in air strikes," Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said.

"We do not know whether the warplanes were from the U.S.-led coalition, the Syrian regime or Russia," he added.
