[ARA] A US-led coalition Arclight airstrike killed a number of 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....

on Tuesday.

At least five ISIS members were killed, including the ISIS security official Sarhan al-Souri, when a US Arclight airstrike hit western Mosul.

Informed local sources told ARA News that the air raid targeted an ISIS security office in the Islah Ziraai neighbourhood in the western part of Mosul city, in Iraq’s northwestern Nineveh Governorate.

Sarhan al-Souri, a Syrian jihadist, was the chief of the ISIS-led Security Commission of Western Mosul.

"Al-Souri was responsible for torturing and executing dozens of innocent people in Mosul," the head of Nineveh media centre, Raafat al-Zarari, told ARA News.

According to Zarari, al-Souri was a direct target for Tuesday’s Arclight airstrike.

"The elimination of senior ISIS officials is a top priority for the US-led coalition in the Mosul air campaign at the moment," he said.
