...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....
 (ISIS) group's stronghold in Iraq for more than a year, destroyed a weapons depot and killed many of the bad boys, a Kurdish Peshmerga official said Sunday.

"The coalition warplanes conducted four Arclight airstrikes on an ISIS weapons depot on the Badoush heights and many other bases on Sunday at 3:00 pm (local time) near Eski Mosul on the western Dijla front," said Brig. Dilshad Maulood, a senior Peshmerga media officer.

The faceless myrmidons sustained heavy casualties, he said, without specifying how many.

A coalition statement on Saturday said that, over the past 24 hours, warplanes had carried out 15 Arclight airstrikes against ISIS in and around Mosul, destroying many positions in the town of Tal Afar and northeast of Mosul.
