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.... in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) southern of Tikrit, while noting that the elements of the organization began to escape. The source said in an interview for IraqiNews.com, ?Today ,Russian Sukhoi fighter jets, operated by Iraqi pilots, began bombing the gatherings of ISIS in the area of Yathrib, (80 km south of Tikrit),? noting that,?Those Sukhois are considered the first over areas south of Tikrit.?

| #2 how many of the Sukhoi pilot are actually Iraqi ? Probably a good percentage. They've had a few months to get their crews up to speed. I wouldn't discount Farsi and Slavic language speakers being among the rest, though. |
