| [RUDAW.NET] Iraqi air force jets bombed 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.... (ISIS) group near an important air base in Salahadin province on Sunday, killing 39 bad boys, the defense ministry said in a statement. It said the warplanes had targeted ISIS positions around the Speicher air force base, Iraq's second-largest. "Iraqi jets have bombed many ISIS hard boyz southeast of the Salahadin province capital of Tikrit, dealing a major blow to the group strength in the area," according to the ministry. "Many of the Daesh (ISIS) hard boyz killed in the attack are foreigners," the statement added. "Along with the casualties, four ready-to-use boom-mobiles were also destroyed." In an earlier clash between the Iraqi army and ISIS after the city was cleared of the group's Lions of Islam in early May, the hard boyz launched a surprise attack on the Speicher base, reportedly killing a number of Iraqi forces. Nearly 1,700 cadets at the base were killed last June, after the Iraqi army withdrew without a fight from Tikrit, virtually handing the city to ISIS. |
