Airstrikes torch huge ISIS arms cache near Mosul
2015-05-23
[RUDAW.NET] A wave of well-placed Arclight airstrikes from the US-led coalition has devastated ISIS positions in three strategic villages and a key weapons warehouse, a Peshmerga official told Rudaw.

"Airstrikes by coalition forces on Thursday have destroyed [ISIS] bases in the villages of Khorsabad, Qaim, and Baryma," Peshmerga officer Delshad Mawloud said on Thursday.

Mawloud said there were at least 10 Arclight airstrikes and added that one of the annihilated targets was the biggest ISIS arsenal in the area, a site on Nawaran frontline close to the bully boy group's stronghold city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
.According to Mawloud, coalition forces were informed of the ISIS targets by Peshmerga intelligence, notably on the weapons cache.

The Nawaran Front is located on the Nineveh plains, some 10km northeast of Mosul.

There was no immediate information on the number of casualties or the amount of IISIS weaponry destroyed by the Thursday Arclight airstrikes.

#2  Unstated: what was destroyed was plenty of US weaponry that was dropped and abandoned by cowardly Shia Iraqi troops.
