Iraq
Command : alleged Mosul phosphorus attack was intentional smoke screen
2017-06-05
[Iraq News] The Iraqi command leading the war against 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....
in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
said Sunday that an alleged white phosphorus attack blamed on Iraqi forces was, in fact, an intended smoke screen against IS snipers.
Eh? It's not Taqqiya Tuesday yet!
The Joint Operations Command said via the Defense Ministry’s War Media Cell that alleged attack on Saturday near the Jamhuri Hospital in al-Shefa district was in fact a smoke bombardment aimed at blurring the vision of IS snipers targeting a huge number of civilians who were escaping toward security forces.

The command said that the circulated videos presenting white pillows of smoke as the result of bombardment with the banned substance were "inaccurate". It added that the smoke screen technique had already been used during operations in eastern and western Mosul.
