Media spokesman of Peshmerga forces Ahmed Jaf said in an interview for IraqiNews.com, “the international coalition aircraft bombed this morning sites belonging to ISIS in Krmurdi village in Makhmour district south of the city of Mosul, killing five elements of the ISIS and injuring seven others.“
...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.... or ISIS in Ankawa village in Makhmour, a Peshmerga official on Makhmour front told Rudaw on Saturday. The Peshmerga spokesperson at the front told Rudaw the US coalition were informed by Peshmerga forces about ISIS military activity at the area. He said "there is a main military base belonging to ISIS in Ankawa village." The spokesperson said the US coalition managed to destroy an ISIS military base in Kudela village in Makhmour and killed several ISIS bad boys. Kudela village is 22km away from Makhmour town, considered as a critical point between linking the Peshmerga stockades with the areas that still under ISIS control. ISIS positions are less than 20 kilometers from Makhmour. Due to the proximity, Peshmerga forces have strengthened security measures there. Peshmerga officials claim that ISIS can no longer advance into the Kurdistan region's borders. | |
