Iraqi army launches new anti-ISIS op – without coalition or PMF backing
[Rudaw] Iraqi security forces have launched a new operation targeting the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 (ISIS) group’s sleeper cells in areas of Anbar province bordering Syria and Jordan, military officials announced early Wednesday. It will not include the US-led coalition or the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).
Ooooohhh — bold move.
The areas have seen a recent uptick in holy warrior activity, including bombings, ambushes, kidnapping, extortion, and arson.
