Iraqi airstrikes kill six suspected ISIS members in Salahaddin

2024-10-09

[Rudaw] At least six suspected members of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

...KABOOM!...
carried out by the Iraqi army in Salahaddin province, the army said on Monday, with jihadist cells yet to be ousted from the country’s disputed areas.

The strike in territories disputed between the federal Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is the latest in an ongoing effort by Baghdad to rid the country of ISIS cells, in areas where a security vacuum allows them to operate.

The Iraqi air force "carried out successful airstrikes using F-16 aircraft, targeting a terrorist hideout in the al-Aith area within the Salahaddin Operations Command sector," the Iraqi army’s Joint Operations Command said in a statement.

Six ISIS members were killed in the strikes, according to the statement, which said that the operation was "in Dire Revenge for the deaders of Kirkuk."

On Wednesday, an ISIS ambush in western Kirkuk province - which also falls in the disputed territories - killed four Iraqi army soldiers. At least six suspected ISIS members, including a leader, were killed in an operation carried out by Iraqi forces in Kirkuk on September 19.

On Saturday, the Iraqi army announced that over 100 ISIS members have been killed since the beginning of the year.
