| [Rudaw] Kurdish artillery from the Peshmerga forces have launched attacks on ISIS positions on the Gwer frontlines south of Erbil, a Peshmerga commander told Rudaw. Jabar Baker Surchi, a Peshmerga commander, said the bombardments was meant to repel ISIS fighters who have been shelling the Peshmerga forces for several days. "We have been attacking Daesh positions since early in the morning. They have made some counter-attacks as well," Surchi said Friday, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS. "As a result of the Peshmerga assaults on their positions we are monitoring the bully boys' movements in Kanash village. Their cars are moving around and it seems they have large number of casualties," he added. Attacks still erupt each week between Kurdish forces and the 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group at the Gwer frontline about 30km fr |
