[Rudaw] Airstrikes by the international coalition formed to fight 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, or ISIS, has destroyed a strategic operating base in a stadium near the city of Ramadi, a coalition statement announced Wednesday.

The stadium was considered as a key ISIS command and supply hub in the Ramadi area and was being used by the organization to store large amounts of explosives, weapons and ammunition, the statement said.

ISIS had used the stadium as base of operations to control Ramadi and nearby areas and to funnel supplies down the Euphrates River valley, the statement added.

"Destroying this facility enables Iraqi security forces to be active in and around Ramadi while degrading [ISIS] command and control capability throughout the area," Colonel Michael Indovina, coalition front man, said.

#1  Not smart enough to build ammo bunkers. Plus, it cuts down on the MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation).
