IS militants killed as airstrike targets ‘Amaq’ mobile station, west of Mosul
[Iraq News] Four 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 holy warriors were killed as an Arclight airstrike targeted a mobile station of the group’s media arm ’Amaq’ in Tal Afar, a local source said.

"A Starex bus, used by the group as a mobile station of Amaq agency, was targeted by an Arclight airstrike in Tal Afar town, west of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
," the source told AlSumaria News on Saturday.

"The Arclight airstrike left four persons killed," according to the source who asked to remain anonymous. "Among the killed ones were abu Intissar, an Iraqi chief cameraman in Tal Afar."

On Thursday, an Arclight airstrike killed 10 IS holy warriors as an alternative headquarters of the group was targeted in the town.

Last week, Iraqi Defense Ministry said a date has been set for the town invasion, however, it will not be declared to maintain the secrecy of the intended operations.

During a weekly press briefing on Tuesday, Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi said a special plan has been drawn to invade Tal Afar.
