...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.

of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) was killed in an Arclight airstrike carried out by Turkish warplanes in Syria as a part of the ongoing Euphrates Shield operation, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) announced on Dec. 31.

Abu Ansari, one of the "emirs" of the jihadist group was killed on Dec. 30 in during a Turkish air operation in al-Bab.
