US-led coalition stages 26 air strikes on Islamic State
2015-08-24
[AlAhram] The United States and its coalition partners targeted 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
in 26 air strikes in Saturday's round of daily attacks on the Lion of Islam group in Iraq and Syria, the Command Joint Task Force said in a statement on Sunday.

Seventeen of the strikes were in Iraq, with the greatest concentrations near the cities of Bayji, djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
and Ramadi, where tactical units, buildings, fighting positions, weapons and vehicles were hit. The strikes also hit Islamic State forces near four other Iraqi cities, the statement said.

In Syria, eight attacks near the cities of Al Hasakah, Al Hawl, Ar Raqqah and Ayn Isa hit fighting positions, vehicles, a bunker and a tactical unit as well as four bunkers.

A ninth attack near Washiyah had inconclusive results, the statement said.
