US airstrike kills two more senior ISIS officials in Syria: CENTCOM
|
[Rudaw] The United States announced late Thursday it had killed two bigwigs 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....
(ISIS) in an Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
in Syria, on the same day that American forces eliminated another prominent ISIS official in the country.
"U.S. forces conducted a successful airstrike in northern Syria, killing both Abu-Hashum al-Umawi, a deputy Wali of Syria, and another senior ISIS official associated with him," the American military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
CENTCOM added that the operation did not cause any civilian casualties and its forces conducted the task unscathed.
"This strike will degrade ISIS’ ability to destabilize the region and strike at our forces and partners," General Michael "Erik" Kurilla, the CENTCOM commander, said about the operation. "Our forces remain in the region to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS."
US forces earlier in the day carried out a raid in a part of northeast Syria (Rojava) controlled by the Syrian government south of the Kurdish-held city of Qamishli, killing an ISIS official and wounding two of his associates.
CENTCOM later confirmed on Twitter that the raid had taken down "Rakkan Wahid al-Shammri, an ISIS official known to facilitate the smuggling of weapons and fighters to support ISIS operations."
"During the operation, the targeted individual was killed and one of his associates was maimed. Two additional associates were detained by U.S. forces," the statement added.
The two operations are the latest in a series of US attacks against senior ISIS officials, with the terror group continuing to pose a serious threat to Syria and Iraq despite being territorially defeated.
A July dronezap by American forces in the country’s northwest killed Maher al-Agal, the leader of ISIS in Syria, five months after a secret US operation took down the terror group’s top leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi again in northwest Syria’s Idlib, a region largely controlled by rebel groups backed by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
