| [Hurriyet Daily News] Coalition forces have launched an air operation on targets of 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) across the border from ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's Kilis province in Syria. Aircraft from U.S.-led coalition forces bombed ISIL targets in the Bab and Rai regions in northern Syria, at a distance of 10 kilometers from Kilis early on Sep. 14. The blasts caused fear and panic among residents of Kilis, while the smoke rising from the targets were monitored from Turkey. Security forces boosted measures at the border line. Turkish jets joined the U.S.-led coalition in the fight against ISIL and hit targets in Syria for the first time on Aug. 28. The Turkish jets took off from the Incirlik Air Base in the southern province of Adana, sources said, adding that the targets were ISIL positions to the north of Aleppo. The operations came days after an ISIL advance in an area of northern Syria that Ankara and Washington have said they will keep clear of the jihadist group and place under the control of ostensibly moderate rebels. It marked the first time that Turkish jets entered Syrian airspace. |
