| [RUDAW.NET] The US-led coalition has announced the completion of 29 ...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.... in the city of Ramadi in Anbar province. The Anbar provincial council has also reported some areas in Anbar were retaken from ISIS by pro-government forces. In a statement, US-led coalition forces reported that over the past two days 29 Iraqi forces issued a statement Monday saying there had been operations to recapture some areas of Anbar with the cooperation of special forces, Iraqi police and Hashd al-Shaabi Shiite militias. Eid Amash, a representative of the Anbar provincial council, said areas near Fallujah like Karma and Saqlawiyah had been recaptured, and the anti-ISIS forces were trying to prevent civilian casualties. Amash added ISIS fighters killed a number of civilians who tried to escape. The Iraqi army has opened safe corridors for citizens to be able to leave the areas where there is fierce fighting. |
