| 2014-01-23 |
| [An Nahar] Air strikes against Death Eater targets in Iraq's restive western province of Anbar killed at least 50 Death Eaters, the defense ministry said Wednesday. Security forces "received accurate information and carried out painful and effective air strikes against terrorist gatherings in Anbar yesterday, January 21, that killed more than 50 terrorists," a ministry statement said. The turbans included imported muscle of Arab nationality, and large quantities of ammunition were destroyed, the statement said, without giving further information. The strikes were the latest in a series of security operations targeting Death Eater groups in Anbar in recent weeks. Parts of scenic provincial capital Ramadi and all of nearby Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... near Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... , have been under the control of anti-government fighters for weeks, after unrest in the cities late last month. Security forces have joined with pro-government tribal militias to try to retake the cities. |
