US targets ISIS convoy that agreed to leave Lebanon under Hezbollah deal
[RT] The US-led coalition said it has bombed ISIS vehicles on their way to join a convoy of other ISIS members traveling from the Syria-Leb border towards Iraq under a deal brokered by Hezbollah, adding that it will not allow the snuffies to escape.Coalition aircraft have struck "vehicles containing 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.... fighters" that were moving towards the convoy's location, Operation Inherent Resolve front man Colonel Ryan Dillon said in a statement on Wednesday. "We are not party to any agreements that were made by the Lebanese Hezbollah and ISIS or the (Syrian) regime," Dillon told AP. Earlier, the coalition bombed a bridge and the road in the convoy's path to prevent it from reaching the area held by IS (also known as ISIS/ISIS) in eastern Syria. Any strikes "will be in accordance with the law of armed conflict," Dillon said. Posted by: Fred 2017-08-31 |
