Islamic State leader in west Mosul killed in airstrike
[UPI] Iraqi security forces said 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.... leader Jassim al-Basri died in a U.S.-led coalition ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... as elite teams escalated the offensive to capture the city's western industrial area on Monday. Iraq's military intelligence on Monday said "the terrorist Jassim al-Basri, known as Abu Mohammed, was killed in an Iraq's Interior Ministry on Monday said at least 3,320 Islamic State Lions of Islam have been killed since the offensive to capture west Mosul began in February. Mosul is a city split between eastern and western halves by the Tigris River. The fight to capture west Mosul once again escalated on Monday as Iraq's elite Counter Terrorism Service advanced into the city's industrial area as well as in 17 other districts -- all located in north and northwest of the west half of Mosul.
