2017-07-02
Anbar (IraqiNews.com) Iraqi forces have foiled a huge attack by 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 a village, west of Anbar, Sputnik news agency reported.

"IS bully boyz attacked the Iraqi army and the tribal forces in al-Sakra village, west of Haditha town, western Anbar, using armored and booby-trapped vehicles and weapons" Mabrouk Hamid, mayor of Haditha, told Sputnik.

The army and tribal troops thwarted the attack and inflicted huge losses on the enemy, killing twenty bad boys, including suicide kaboomers, and destroying their weapons, Hamid added.

No casualties among civilians and security troops were reported, according to Hamid.

Haditha city is fully controlled by security forces and tribal fighters, however, IS launches attacks there every now and then. The regions in the north of the lake are desert ones with a number of houses that are used by IS bully boyz as hideouts.

Iraqi troops were able to return life back to normal in the biggest cities of Anbar including Fallujah,
... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids...
Ramadi and others after recapturing them. However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
Anbar’s western towns of Annah, Qaim and Rawa are still held by the myrmidon group since 2014, when it emerged to proclaim a self-styled Islamic Caliphate.
