| Air raid destroys huge ISIS car bomb plant in Iraq |
| 2015-06-04 |
| An air strike in Iraq completely levelled one of 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria Lion of Islam group's largest boom-mobile factories on Wednesday in a massive kaboom heard for kilometers (miles), officials said. The strike hit a facility at the entrance to the town of Hawijah in northern Iraq that was used to rig vehicles with explosives for bombings that are one of ISIS' deadliest tactics, they said. The facility, which included tanks, Humvees and large quantities of explosives, was "the biggest factory in Iraq and Syria", an Iraqi colonel said. The officers said the blast caused heavy ISIS casualties but also killed and maimed civilians. Mohammed Khalil al-Juburi, the deputy head of the Kirkuk province security committee, confirmed details of the attack, and also said it caused major casualties among both ISIS and civilians. An AFP journalist heard the huge kaboom in Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... 55 kilometers (34 miles) away. Mobile phone photos obtained by AFP that were said to show the site of the kaboom picture damage on a massive scale. They show a huge field of debris -- cinderblocks, metal roofing, the twisted remains of vehicles -- that stretches as far as the eye can see. Iraqi officials said the strike was carried out by U.S.-led anti-ISIS forces, an assertion backed by a statement the coalition issued saying that it bombed an ISIS "VBIED (vehicle-born improvised bomb) facility" near Hawijah. |
