| [Iraq News] Iraqi security forces killed four jacket wallahs while a fifth one killed a whole family west of Anbar, a senior army commander said Friday. Qassem al-Mohammadi, head of the army’s al-Jazeera Operations, said in statements that security forces, backed by Tribal Mobilization troops, trapped five suicide bombers in al-Baghdadi region (90 Km west of Ramadi). "The suiciders sneaked into al-Baghdadi through the desert, four of them were killed, while a fifth one went kaboom!inside a house, killing a whole family of six, two parents and four children," Mohammadi stated. Government and tribal forces have occasionally repelled attacks by suicide bombers in Baghdadi ad Doulab regions, with the encounters usually leaving civilian casualties. 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.... has held the towns of Annah, Rawa and Qaim, on Anbar’s borders with Syria, since 2014, when they occupied a third of Iraq to proclaim an "Islamic Caliphate". So far, there has not been a wide-scale campaign to retake those regions, but occasional offensives managed to take over several surrounding villages. The Iraqi government declared victory over IS in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the group’s former capital in Iraq, earlier this month, and said it was going to proceed towards other group holdouts. The Ministry of Defense said Wednesday that though the Joint Operations Command gives "special attention" to the liberation of Tal Afar as the next target, troops can launch simultaneous operations also targeting IS havens west of Anbar. On Thursday, Iraqi warplanes dropped millions of messages telling locals that liberation offensives for the province were nearing. |
