US leads 28 air strikes against Islamic State
2015-12-31
[Ynet] The United States and its allies staged 28 air strikes on Tuesday against 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....
in Iraq and Syria, the coalition leading the operations said in a statement.

In Syria, four strikes near four cities struck tactical units and an oil pump station, and destroyed two vehicles and an excavator, according to a Combined Joint Task Force statement released Wednesday.

In Iraq, 24 air strikes concentrated near djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
and Ramadi struck bunkers, fighting positions and bombs among other targets, the statement said.
