| 2016-06-22 |
| [IsraelTimes] A senior Iraqi military commander says about 2,500 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.... holy warriors have been killed during a month-long offensive to recapture the city of Fallujah. The counter-terrorism forces’ chief in the operation, Lt. General Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi, tells the local al-Sumaria TV late on Monday that the number of IS fighters inside Fallujah ranged between 3,500 to 4,000 when the offensive began in late May. Iraqi troops have not disclosed their losses in Fallujah though the Islamic State group claims to have killed dozens. Al-Saadi offers no specifics to back up the figure of 2,500 killed IS fighters. He claimed about 15 percent of them were imported muscle. He cites Iraqi police reports as saying 1,086 IS-linked suspects have been placed in durance vile Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! . He didn’t say how many IS holy warriors remain in Fallujah. |
