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.... (IS) group gunnies in Iraq with 16 strikes on Saturday, the US military said on Sunday. Three of the strikes were near Hit, which has been heavily targeted in recent days, hitting two separate IS group tactical units and four tactical vehicles, it said. Additional strikes in Kisik and djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... destroyed IS tactical units and supply caches Coalition jets kill six ISIS militants, destroy weapons depot [Rudaw] At least six Islamic State (ISIS) were killed by warplanes from the US-led coalition and a weapons depot belonging to the group destroyed in the town of Gayara southern djinn-infested Mosul, a Kurdish Peshmerga commander told Rudaw on Sunday. "Last night the coalition jets bombed ISIS positions including a weapons depot in Gayara," said Sirwan Barzani, commander of the Peshmerga forces on the Makhmour-Gwer front, Gayara is occupied by the group.
