Canada carries out airstrikes against ISIS
2014-11-03
[Iraq News] The Royal Canadian Air Force announced today that it had carried out an airstrike against ISIS targets on Thursday, October 30. A formation of CAF-18 Hornets have joined the US-led operation against ISIS by carrying out an air strike against one of the militantsâ locations.

Noteworthy, Canada has contributed six CF-18 fighter jets, one air-to-air refueling aircraft and two surveillance aircraft while extending the deployment of up to 69 military advisors and army personnel to support Iraqi forces.
The Times of Israel adds:
A statement from Defense Minister Rob Nicholson's office on Sunday said two fighter jets attacked targets in the vicinity of Fallujah with laser-guided bombs and safely returned to their base in Kuwait

Canada has deployed six CF-18s along with a C-150 Polaris and two CP-140 Aurora surveillance aircraft as its contribution to the bombing campaign against the 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....
group. About 600 Canadian airmen and airwomen are involved.
Possibly that personnel number has an extra zero...
