The special operation, which took place on Thursday midnight, has targeted ISIS strongholds in the sub-districts of Kask and Badoush near the city of Mosul in Nineveh province. “The U.S. special forces have used about seven Apache helicopters and a drone during the raid,” a security source told ARA News in Mosul, speaking on condition of anonymity. “The operation has targeted an ISIS security checkpoint and a convoy consisting of three ISIS vehicles. At least 20 militants were arrested, including four jihadi commanders.” the source reported. The raid was conducted in the area stretching from Kask to Badoush sub-district. “The arrested members of ISIS were taken by the Apache helicopters to an unknown location,” the security source added.

| #3 Then they should have been squeezed for whatever intel they had, then shot and dumped in the desert. Our penchant for flapping our gums to the media is stupid. Snatch them, interrogate and kill them. Keep quiet! |
