| ISIS commander among 11 killed in Syria air raids |
| 2015-12-09 |
| [AlAhram] A commander and a child soldier were among 11 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.... group fighters killed Tuesday in air strikes on Raqa, the bad boys' de facto capital in Syria, a monitor said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights was unable to specify the nationality of the aircraft that carried out the raids nor the identity of the slain commander. The man was killed in a strike on the Ferdaos district, while raids elsewhere in and around the city killed 10, including a child soldier from the ranks of the "Cubs of the Caliphate", said the Observatory. Raqa is frequently the target of air strikes by the US-led coalition, as well as the Syrian air force and Russian warplanes that began an air campaign in Syria in late September. The US-led coalition has expanded its operations in recent days, partly in response to the deadly attacks in Gay Paree claimed by ISIS. Britannia voted on Wednesday to join the coalition's strikes in the war-torn country. Russia stepped up strikes against ISIS after the group claimed to have downed a Russian passenger plane over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in October. At least 32 ISIS fighters were killed Sunday in apparent US-led air strikes on Raqa province, said the Britannia-based Observatory. |
