Syrian Army Destroys Islamic State-Controlled Bridge
2014-09-16
[Ynet] Syrian special forces on Monday destroyed a bridge over the Euphrates River used by Islamic State to move supplies in eastern Syria, media run by Hezbollah said, a blow to the group in the swathe of Syrian territory it controls near Iraq.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks the war, said an kaboom had destroyed the bridge in Deir al-Zor city that is

of vital importance to Islamic State as the only way for it to move into parts of the city it controls.

"The Syrian armed forces destroyed the Political Bridge in Deir al-Zor in a special operation carried out by special forces and army engineers, leading to the killing of the holy warriors who were on it," al-Manar, a media organization run by the Lebanese group Hezbollah, reported on its website.

#7  if you subscribe the the completely discredited Broken Window Bridge model of economic growth, destroying infrastructure means increased wealth for everyone.

There's got to be some kind of award for a statement like that.

Oh, Frank, it's *only* a bridge. Besides, if you subscribe the the completely discredited Broken Window Bridge model of economic growth, destroying infrastructure means increased wealth for everyone.

#2  Neat.
I'm guessing this bridge was not chosen at random, so do we get a view of their engineering skills?
