US-led air strikes in Syria, Iraq hit Islamic State targets
2015-02-12
[Ynet] The United States and its coalition partners launched four air strikes 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....
targets in Syria, and six more in Iraq against the Lion of Islam group, the US military said on Wednesday.

Among the Syria strikes, which occurred between 8am local time Tuesday and 8am on Wednesday, were two near Kobani that hit two Islamic State fighting positions, a tactical unit and a checkpoint, the Combined Joint Task Force said in a statement.

In Iraq, air strikes hit near Baiji, Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
and Falluja, striking tactical units, vehicles and a heavy machine gun, the task force said.
