U.S. Apache Helicopters Strike IS for First Time in Iraq
 [AnNahar] U.S. Apache helicopters have hit an 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.... target for the first time in Iraq, the Pentagon said Monday. "U.S. Apache helicopters conducted the first strike against a ISIS target in Iraq in support of Iraqi Security Forces in the Tigris River Valley June 12," Defense Department front man Christopher Sherwood said, using an Arabic abbreviation for the IS group. "The Apache strike destroyed a ISIS vehicle borne improvised bomb (VBIED) near Qayyarah, Iraq," he added. Qayyarah is south of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the IS group's main stronghold in Iraq. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-06-14 |
