[Ynet] The United States and its allies staged 17 strikes against 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.... in Iraq and Syria on Wednesday in their latest daily attacks against the myrmidon group, the coalition leading the operations said. In a statement released on Thursday, the Combined Joint Task Force said 14 strikes in Iraq hit targets near nine cities, including djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Kisik and Falluja, among others. The strikes hit seven of the myrmidon's tactical units as well as two fighting positions, several fighting positions and weapons caches, the US-led task force said. One strike also damaged an oil tanker used by the group near Tal Afar, it added. In Syria, three strikes near Manbij hit an Islamic State tactical unit, two fighting positions and a mortar system, according to the statement said. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-05-20 |
