As ISIS retreats, information trove found
[Telegraph] Intelligence of attack plots across Europe is being uncovered 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.... ’s caliphate is beaten back, the top British officer in the military coalition fighting the gunnies has disclosed. A trove of information has already been found and the capture of the Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... is expected to deliver more on the plans, finances and members of Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (Isil). Maj Gen Rupert Jones warned there were "no quick answers" in the fight to liberate Iraq’s second city, which has now entered its second month.
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s campaign trail suggestions that the coalition was not aggressive enough against the bad boy movement also known as ISIS. Maj Gen Jones, who is second in command of the US-led coalition, spoke as the Telegraph visited more than 250 British troops recently sent to Al Asad Air Base in Western Iraq where they are training Iraqi troops to fight the Death Eaters. The volume of intelligence being found is so large the coalition has set up a lab in the Gulf to plunder Death Eaters’ laptops, phones and drives for their secrets and then pass them to intelligence agencies. The capture of the Syrian town of Manbij, which acted as a gateway for jihadists travelling into ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and on to Europe, was an intelligence breakthrough, he said. But he warned the Lions of Islam would still be able to direct plots while they remained in their capital, Raqqa. Maj Gen Jones said: "Manbij was hugely important for external operations. A huge amount of intelligence gathered in Manbij related to threats in Europe and elsewhere. What we are now in the process of doing is starting the isolation of Raqqa. "For as long as Raqqa is sitting there, they can orchestrate external operations. So the sooner it’s liberated or the sooner ISIS are liberated from there, the better." He went on: "The reason we are all here is because ISIS has demonstrated it poses a threat to our way of life. It’s demonstrated very effectively what it can do in Europe and elsewhere." Heavy fighting ... as opposed to the more usual name-calling or slapsy... continues in Mosul where Iraqi security forces began an assault to drive out Isil nearly six weeks ago. Maj Gen Jones said: "I am absolutely certain that an extraordinary amount of intelligence will come out of Mosul. We have ramped up as a coalition our ability to gather and process all that intelligence, because it will be a labyrinth of intelligence and we need to get that into the hands of intelligence agencies."
