2019-04-13
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Iraqi counter-terrorism forces launched a new operation on Thursday that targeted the remaining 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....
(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) Death Eaters from a mountain range in northern Iraq.

According to a report from Baghdad, the counter-terrorism forces began their operation by storming the Islamic State’s hideouts in the Hamrin Hills.

The report said that the Iraqi counter-terrorism forces have already killed a dozen Islamic State terrorists, while also destroying a number of hideouts and trenches.

"...the sectors of the Counter-Terrorism forces, supported by Iraqi Army aviation and international coalition aviation, initiated a broad security operation to chase the remnant members of the terrorist ISIS in the hills of Hamrin to destroy the caves and their safe havens," read a statement by the Security Media Cell on Facebook, as reported by the Rudaw News Agency.

The operation was reportedly green lit by Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, the country’s commander-in-chief, according to the media cell.
