Coalition jets destroy IS convoy coming from Syria to Iraq, kill dozens
 ِAnbar (IraqiNews.com) Fighter jets from the U.S.-led coalition fighting the 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.... have killed dozens of the group’s members and destroyed their combat vehicles in a raid in western Anbar, a military source was quoted saying. The convoy was arriving from Syria to Iraq’s Anbar, the source was quoted saying by Alsumaria News. Islamic State forces of Evil have held Anbar’s western towns of Annah, Qaim and Rawa since 2014. Fighter jets from the Iraqi army and the allied U.S.-led coalition have also regularly pounded IS locations in the province. Local officials believe Islamic State is holding thousands of civilians at its western strongholds to use them as human shields against any future security offensive. The Iraqi government and army commanders say they will aim at IS havens in Anbar once they are finished with eliminating the group from djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , its biggest bastion in Iraq. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had said that as the battle in Mosul approached its end, securing the Iraqi borders with Syria at Anbar became a top priority. Islamic State has escalated its attacks against army and paramilitary forces in the province over the past few months, leaving several personnel dead. It has also executed dozens of civilians over charges of collaboration with security forces or attempting to flee the group’s domains. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-05-22 |
