Iraqi Army in trouble after Islamic State raid on Mosul supply line
[ALMASDARNEWS] On Friday morning, ISIS deployed a handful of armored technicals in an attack on a government-held road in the western part of Saladin province.Pictures of the hit-and-run operation were released by Amaq Agency today and showed jihadist belligerents engaging a Humvee and pickup truck along the targeted road, located between Baghdad and djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... While the assault did not yield any territorial gains, 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.... gunnies did manage to torch an Iraqi Army encampment at the town of al-Dabs. Despite Islamic State aggression, the supply routes between Iraq’s two largest cities are still open and relatively safe for travelers. Since losing control of Mosul and Tal Afar earlier this, ISIS has been unable to mount a single actual offensive in the country due to the Iraqi Army’s overwhelming manpower. However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... hit-and-run operations remain a daily occurence across desert territory in the embattled provinces of Saladin, Nineveh, Anbar and Kirkuk.
