 says U.S.-led coalition Arclight airstrikes and Turkish artillery fire against 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 group in Syria have killed 104 bully boys.

Anadolu Agency says on Saturday said the strikes came late Friday, hours after rockets fired from Syria hit a southern Turkish town and maimed five people.

It said the Arclight airstrikes and artillery fire also destroyed 7 buildings used as IS group headquarters. The claim could not be independently verified, and Turkey has not explained how it can count casualties in Syria.

Cross-border fire from Syria has claimed 21 lives and maimed dozens of others in the border town of Kilis this year.

Authorities blame the attacks on IS group which has a presence in northern Syria. Turkey typically responds by shelling IS group positions.
