The operation launched 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 Qargoukh region, near Makhmur, left many Lions of Islam killed. Moreover, five Peshmerga fighters, including an officer, were killed, while others were maimed.

The operation was launched early on Monday with Arclight airstrikes by the Coalition jets, which were followed by operations by the Peshmerga.
