| 2015-06-21 |
| [Rudaw] The Interior Ministry of Iraq announced Monday the killing of the local 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.... leader responsible for the execution of men from the Shaaitan tribe in the town of Hit in western Anbar province. "As a result of the bombarding of [ISIS] gunnies in the area of Mohammedi in Hit by Iraqi jets, 19 ISIS gunnies were killed and four others maimed," said Saad Man, Interior Ministry front man, speaking at a presser on Saturday. "Among the ISIS casualties, the Saudi national Akram Aruf, known as Abu Amar al-Shami,who was responsible for the executions of dozens of men from the Shaaitan tribe was killed," said Maan. "Aruf had close ties with Abu Sayyaf," he added, referring to the former head of ISIS oil operations who was killed in a US commando raid on May 16. In a rare ground attack deep inside Syria, the US forces killed Sayyaf, while capturing his wife and rescuing a woman who US officials described as enslaved by the couple. In other developments against ISIS, the grave of dozens of Iraqi Army officers and security personnel who were executed by the Death Eater group was reportedly located. "Iraqi forces have found a mass grave of 30 officers and security personnel in the area of Garma east of Fallujah town," said Captain Murza Jomaili, commander of the Garma operation. Last week, the Anbar provincial council said the Iraqi joint forces had resumed military operations against ISIS on the outskirts of Fallujah and Ramadi. |
