...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

members were killed, while other civilians were maimed in Arclight airstrikes in western Anbar, a security source said.

"U.S.-led Coalition jets bombarded on Sunday IS locations in Qaim, Annah and Rawa, west of Anbar. Seventeen IS members, including leader, Mohammed Abboud Abd Manaf, were killed in Wadi al-Kasr region, located between Annah and Rawa. IS member in charge of the group’s prisons in Qaim, known as Farhan Rafiq Eteiwy, was also killed," the source told Alghad Press on Sunday.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source added, "the shelling left five civilians maimed, with two of them at death's door. Moreover, a group’s weapon stash was destroyed."

On Friday, Coalition jets reportedly bombarded three booby-trapped vehicles in several regions in Annah, killing several Lion of Islams. Late August, the Defense Ministry’s War Media Cell said the air force bombarded six IS locations in Qaim, killing 94 members, including a senior security commander and a close aide to the group’s supreme leader abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
